Murphy logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Seahawks' 44-13 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Murphy got to Spencer Rattler early in the third quarter for a six-yard sack, which forced the Saints to punt on the next play. Murphy had just 0.5 sacks across 14 regular-season games during his rookie season in 2024, but he's already up to 2.5 sacks (which have come over the last two contests). He'll look to extend his sack streak to three games Thursday against the Cardinals.

Murphy registered five tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, against Pittsburgh in a 31-17 victory Sunday.
Murphy and Leonard Williams came together to bring down Aaron Rodgers on the final play of the first half, and Murphy later sacked Rodgers on his own with 3:41 remaining in the contest. Murphy had just a half-sack over 14 regular-season games last year, so he's already exceeded that through two weeks in the current campaign.

Seahawks' Byron Murphy: Aiming for more pass-rushing work
Rotowire
Murphy (back) is expected to be a bigger factor as a pass rusher in 2025, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Murphy struggled with a hamstring injury early in 2024 and closed the season with a back injury, but he's fully healthy for the start of training camp and is gearing up for an important role in the Seahawks' revamped offense. The 2024 first-round pick relayed that he's expected to work more in the three technique this season, which should hopefully help him improve after he finished with just 0.5 sacks last year.
