Cardinals' Josh Sweat: Gets to QB in Week 4 loss
Sweat notched two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Sunday in a loss to the Seahawks.
Sweat brought down Sam Darnold on the first offensive play of the second half, which led to a Darnold fumble. However, Seattle was able to recover and ultimately ended the drive with a field goal. Through four games this season, Sweat has posted 3.0 sacks and two forced fumbles as he's been a disruptive force in the backfield.

Rashan Gary LB | DAL
Packers' Rashan Gary: Quiet night against Dallas
Gary registered four tackles (two solo) during the Packers' 40-40 tie to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Gary entered Week 4 having logged at least 1.0 sacks in each of the first three games of the regular season. However, he was unable to extend his sack streak to four games and didn't even register a quarterback hit in a game that saw the Packers defense struggle to contain Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense. Even so, Gary's 4.5 sacks on the season is tied with Carl Granderson and Nik Bonitto for third most in the NFL behind Brian Burns and Byron Young (5.0 each). The Packers are on a bye for Week 5 and will return for Week 6 on Sunday, Oct. 12 against a Bengals team that yielded three sacks against the Broncos in Week 4.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Sevens stops in Week 4 tie
Cooper logged seven tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Packers' 40-40 tie to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Cooper has logged at least seven tackles in three of the first four games of the regular season, and he finished Sunday's game tied with Nate Hobbs (head) and Xavier McKinney for third most tackles on the Packers behind Quay Walker (11) and Evan Williams (nine). Cooper is up to 33 total tackles through four games and is on pace to surpass his total from the 2024 regular season (87 across 14 games).

Brian Burns LB | NYG
Giants' Brian Burns: Tallies sack in win
Burns logged five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Giants' win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Burns continued his strong season Sunday, as he's now logged at least 1.0 sacks in each of the team's first four games. The 27-year-old is currently on pace to set new career high totals in both tackles and sacks. He will look to keep up this high level of production next week versus the Saints.

Seahawks' Coby Bryant: Picks off another pass Thursday
Bryant recorded an interception during Thursday's 23-20 win at Arizona.
Bryant was on the field for all 67 of the Seahawks' defensive snaps in Week 4, and quarterback Kyler Murray barely ever threw in his direction. One of the few times he did, however, Bryant settled under an overthrown ball in the middle of the field for his second interception of the season (although he did ultimately fumble the ball back to the Cardinals). His prowess in coverage continues to limit his tackling opportunities and hurt his value as an IDP asset.

Calais Campbell DE | BAL
Cardinals' Calais Campbell: Adds to sack total in Week 4 loss
Campbell registered three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's loss to Seattle.
Campbell had two tackles for loss Sunday, including a second-quarter sack of Sam Darnold. The veteran defender is up to 3.0 sacks on the campaign, which already puts him past the halfway mark toward the 5.0 sacks he recorded over 17 regular-season contests with Miami last year. Campbell's career-best regular-season total is 14.5 sacks, which he posted while with Jacksonville in 2017.

Rams' Quentin Lake: Co-leads Rams with nine stops
Lake registered nine tackles (five solo) during the Rams' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Leonard Williams DT | SEA
Seahawks' Leonard Williams: Posts 1.5 sacks Thursday
Williams recorded four tackles (three solo) including 1.5 sacks and a pass defensed during Thursday's 23-20 win at Arizona.
Williams registered in the sack column for the third consecutive game in Week 4, bringing his sack total on the season up to 2.5. He's on pace for his second straight double-digit sack season, and he'll be facing a banged up Buccaneers offensive line when he takes the field in Week 5.

Byron Young LB | LAR
Rams' Byron Young: Extends sack streak to four games
Young logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Rams' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
It didn't take long for Young to make an impact; he sacked Daniel Jones for a one-yard loss on the Colts' second offensive play of the game. Young has logged at least 1.0 sacks in each of the first four games of the regular season, and his 5.0 sacks is tied with Brian Burns for most in the NFL.
