Starks finished Monday's Week 3 loss to Detroit with eight tackles (three solo).

Starks' tackle total tied for second-most on Baltimore and was his highest mark through three games as a pro. The rookie safety has been very consistent so far, totaling seven tackles in both Week 1 and Week 2 before upping that number by one Monday. Starks was on the field for all 68 of the Ravens' defensive snaps versus Detroit.

Jefferson finished with five tackles (three solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's 23-20 Week 3 win over Denver.

Jefferson finished second in tackles for Los Angeles, with one of his stops coming on special teams. The veteran defensive back logged 43 of the Chargers' 52 defensive snaps in the victory, and he's taken on a big role since signing with the team off the practice squad Sept. 18. Through two games, Jefferson has posted 10 tackles and three defensed passes, including one interception.

Wingard recorded six tackles (four solo) Sunday in a 17-10 win against Houston.

Wingard finished tied for third in tackles among Jaguars defenders in the victory. He's had a solid start to the season, posting 17 tackles and an interception through three games.

Murray recorded four tackles (two solo) in a 17-10 victory versus the Texans on Sunday.

Murray was effective in coverage despite logging a modest four stops. He's been an excellent addition to Jacksonville's secondary, registering 18 tackles and three pass defenses (including an interception) through three weeks.

Armstrong recorded five total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 41-24 win over Las Vegas.

Armstrong was able to record a sack for the third game in a row to open the season, bringing down Geno Smith for a three-yard loss in the first quarter. The defensive lineman has now registered 15 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.0 sacks, over the first three contests this year.

Granderson recorded two total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Granderson was unable to continue his red-hot start to the season in Week 3, finishing with a season-low two takedowns in the game. The 28-year-old has now produced 15 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed over the first three contests this year.

Pola-Mao recorded five total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Commanders.

Pola-Mao maintained his consistent level of play in Week 3, reaching at least five takedowns for the third consecutive game to open the year. The safety has now compiled 17 total tackles (10 solo) and an interception to this point in the season.

Lewis posted four tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, in Sunday's 17-10 Week 3 win against Houston.

Lewis came up with a big interception early in the fourth quarter, picking off C.J. Stroud with Jacksonville holding a 10-3 lead and the Texans approaching the red zone. It was his second pick of the campaign and his league-leading sixth defensed pass. Lewis has been perhaps the most impressive part of a Jaguars defense that leads the NFL with seven interceptions on the campaign.

Hawkins posted three tackles (two solo) in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

Hawkins had a quiet performance after posting 13 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and an interception through the first two weeks. He was on the field for every one of the Patriots' defensive snaps, which has been the case for two of the team's first three games this year.

Thornhill recorded six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 21-14 win at New England.

Jabrill Peppers saw his first defensive snaps of the season in Week 3, and they mostly came at the expense of Thornhill, who only played 26 of the Steelers' 71 defensive snaps. Things will only get complicated further when DeShon Elliott (knee) comes back into the fold, so Thornhill's role in Pittsburgh's defensive backfield looks like it might be on shaky ground as the season develops.
