    Dye finished second on the team in tackles behind Daiyan Henley's seven (three solo) during the victory. The 29-year-old is off to a strong start this season and is currently on pace to surpass his career-high 57 tackles (34 solo) set in 2024.

    Patriots' Marcus Jones: Very active in Week 6 win

    Jones picked up his first career sack when he brought down Spencer Rattler for a three-yard loss early in the fourth quarter. Jones was also very effective in coverage, breaking up three passes. Jones has five defensed passes over the past two weeks and six total across six games this season.

  • Derrick Barnes LB | DET

    Lions' Derrick Barnes: Notches four stops in Week 6 loss

    Barnes finished with four tackles in a loss to Kansas City on Sunday.

    Barnes had a quiet game against the Chiefs, posting a season-low four tackles. Through six weeks, he's tallied 38 stops, including 2.0 sacks.

  • Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Strong outing in win

    David logged six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Tampa Bay's win versus the 49ers on Sunday.

    David was dealing with a knee injury leading up to Sunday's matchup but delivered a strong performance nonetheless, recording one of the team's six sacks of Mac Jones. The 35-year-old has been dominant to start the season, racking up 40 tackles (21 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and an interception in just six games played.

  • Nick Emmanwori SAF | SEA

    Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Notches nine stops in Week 6

    Emmanwori posted nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-12 win over Jacksonville.

    Emmanwori tied with Drake Thomas for the team leads in tackles. Emmanwori logged a season-high 94 percent defensive snap share for a banged-up Seahawks secondary that was without starters Riq Woolen (concussion), Devon Witherspoon (knee) and Julian Love (hamstring).

  • Tykee Smith SAF | TB

    Buccaneers' Tykee Smith: Productive versus 49ers

    Smith registered six tackles (five solo) in the Buccaneers' win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Smith continued his strong start to the season, as he's now recorded at least six tackles in each of his first six outings. The 24-year-old has totaled 45 tackles (27 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and will look to add to his totals in the team's Week 7 matchup against the Lions.

  • Marques Sigle SAF | SF

    49ers' Marques Sigle: Modest output in Week 6 loss

    Sigle registered four tackles (all solo) Sunday in a loss to the Buccaneers.

    Sigle tied for third on San Francisco with his four tackles. That total was, however, his lowest of the season. Through six weeks, the rookie safety has tallied 43 tackles and two defensed passes.

  • Jamel Dean CB | PIT

    Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Dominant in win

    Dean tallied four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception in Tampa Bay's win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Dean missed the Week 5 win over the Seahawks with a hip injury but had a dominant outing in his return. The 28-year-old recorded one of the team's two interceptions of Mac Jones in addition to logging his first sack of the season. He will look to build on this strong performance and keep producing in the Week 7 matchup versus the Lions.

  • Commanders' Mike Sainristil: Three tackles in Week 6 loss

    Sainristil logged three tackles and a pass defense during the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday.

    Sainristil played 62 of 64 defensive snaps in Monday's loss, but his three stops were his lowest since Week 1 against the Giants (three). The 2024 second-rounder is up to 32 tackles through six regular-season games, which is barely on track to match his total from 2024 (93 tackles across 17 regular-season games).
