Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Registers six stops in Week 11 win
Hufanga totaled six tackles (three solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 22-19 victory against the Chiefs.

Ronnie Harrison Jr. LB | MIA
Falcons' Ronnie Harrison: Sacks Young in Week 11 loss
Harrison posted 11 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during the Falcons' 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Harrison led the Falcons with a season-high 11 tackles during Sunday's OT loss while playing 93 total snaps (78 on defense, 15 on special teams). He recorded a sack for a second consecutive game after getting to Bryce Young for a seven-yard loss early in the fourth quarter, which led to the Panthers punting on the very next play. Harrison has earned a larger role in the Falcons' defense after being signed off the practice squad to the active roster in late October, though his defensive snap count would take a hit if Divine Deablo (forearm) is activated from injured reserve ahead of Atlanta's Week 12 clash against New Orleans.

Justin Strnad LB | DEN
Broncos' Justin Strnad: Leads Denver in stops in Week 11
Strnad tallied 10 tackles (four solo) Sunday in a 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
Strnad logged a start with Alex Singleton (illness) missing the contest. Strnad ended up reaching a career-high mark with 10 stops, which paced the Broncos in the big victory. Denver is on bye in Week 12, and it's unclear if Singleton will be back for Week 13. If not, Strnad figures to get another start at linebacker.

Ja'Quan McMillian CB | DEN
Broncos' Ja'Quan McMillian: Huge performance in Week 11 win
McMillian logged six tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, and intercepted a pass in Sunday's 22-19 win over the Chiefs.
McMillian was a menace to Kansas City throughout the contest and made a tangible impact in Denver's win. He ended the first half with a sack of Patrick Mahomes, then picked off Mahomes early in the third quarter after the Chiefs had driven deep into Broncos territory. McMillian returned the pickoff 63 yards, setting up a Denver touchdown. For good measure, he sacked Mahomes again on a third-down play late in the fourth period, forcing a punt as the Chiefs were trying to mount a comeback. With the big effort, McMillian doubled his sack total to 4.0 on the campaign, while the pickoff was his first this season.

Cedric Gray LB | TEN
Titans' Cedric Gray: Reaches tackling century mark
Gray posted 11 tackles (six solo) and two pass defenses during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Gray played every single defensive snap for the first time this season and logged double-digit tackles for the sixth time in seventh games, though he finished second on the Titans in tackles behind Darrell Baker (12). Gray mostly served on special teams across seven regular-season games in 2024, but the second-year linebacker has stepped up in a big way during his sophomore campaign. He is up to 102 combined tackles through 10 regular-season games, which is third most in the NFL behind Jordyn Brooks (125) and Bobby Wagner (107).

Darrell Baker Jr. CB | MIA
Titans' Darrell Baker: Career-high 12 stops vs. Houston
Baker posted 12 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defense during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Baker entered Week 11 having not recorded more than five tackles through nine regular-season games, but he was far busier during Sunday's AFC South tilt and finished with a game-high 12 stops. Baker has stepped into a larger role in the Titans' secondary over the team's last four games, a development that's coincided with L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) being placed on injured reserve and Roger McCreary being traded to the Rams, both which took place in late October. Baker and the Titans will welcome in the Seahawks in Week 12.

The veteran defensive back has posted 65 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, along with four defensed passes (including an interception) through 11 contests on the campaign.
