Nick Emmanwori SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Posts 11 stops vs. LAR
Emmanwori registered 11 tackles (seven solo) during the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday.
The rookie second-rounder registered the most tackles of his young career Thursday and finished as the game's third-leading tackler behind Drake Thomas (13) and Ernest Jones (12). In the eight games since the Seahawks' Week 8 bye, Emmanwori has accumulated 54 tackles (39 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and nine pass defenses (including one interception).

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Nearly gets INT in Week 16 victory
Jones posted 12 tackles (four solo) during the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday.
Jones posted double-digit tackles for a fourth consecutive game (and sixth time this season), and he finished Thursday's game as the second-leading tackler behind Drake Thomas (13). Jones was the only Seattle defender to play all 92 defensive snaps and came close to giving the Seahawks possession in overtime, but his apparent interception of Matthew Stafford was reversed after replay showed the ball hit the ground. Jones is up to 116 combined tackles through 13 regular-season games, and he'll look to add to his total in the Seahawks' Week 17 road tilt against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Drake Thomas LB | SEA
Seahawks' Drake Thomas: Career-high 13 stops in OT win
Thomas posted 13 tackles (six solo) during the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday.
Thomas led both teams Thursday with a career-high 13 stops, which was almost as many as he accumulated over the three games prior to Week 16 (15 combined tackles). He is now up to 86 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games, with 54 of his stops coming in the eight games since the Seahawks' Week 8 bye. Thomas will have two more opportunities to reach the tackling century mark for the first time in his career, starting with Week 17 against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Dareke Young WR | LV
Seahawks' Dareke Young: No offensive reps
Young didn't play an offensive snap in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.
Young missed the last seven games with a quadriceps injury, and his role in Week 16 was limited, as expected. The 2022 seventh-round pick is the No. 5 wide receiver in the rotation and won't be a dependable option down the stretch.

Cody White WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cody White: No targets once again
White wasn't targeted in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.
White logged just six offensive snaps as the team's No. 4 wide receiver. The Seahawks frequently use two tight ends or a fullback, leaving little opportunity for White to get into the mix. He'll likely continue to have a limited role in Week 17 versus the Panthers.

Eric Saubert TE | SEA
Seahawks' Eric Saubert: Game-winning catch
Saubert wasn't credited with a target in the box score in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams. He caught a two-point conversion in overtime.
Saubert's first look was on the last play of the game, when he caught the two-point conversion to seal a crucial win over the Seahawks' division rival. This was a memorable moment, but it has been a slow season for the veteran tight end, as he has been targeted just twice over nine games.

Omar Speights LB | LAR
Rams' Omar Speights: Makes seven stops
Speights recorded seven tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.
Speights played 53 defensive snaps, one of his highest totals of the season. He responded with seven tackles, a mark he's reached five times in 14 games on the campaign.

Nate Landman LB | LAR
Rams' Nate Landman: Sacks Darnold
Landman recorded five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.
Landman logged a 100 percent defensive snap rate for the second consecutive week. He turned in a modest tackle total, though he did manage to log his first sack since Week 7. Landman has already easily posted the most productive campaign of his career and will almost certainly maintain a key role in the middle of the Rams' defense down the stretch of the regular season.

Kamren Curl SAF | LAR
Rams' Kamren Curl: Forces key fumble in loss
Curl recorded five tackles (two solo) and forced a fumble in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.
Curl played his typical role, logging a 100 percent defensive snap rate. He had a modest tackle total, but he still made a significant impact on the game by forcing Cooper Kupp to fumble just before halftime -- taking potential points off the board. Curl has at least five tackles in three straight games, though his totals have fallen significantly since early in the season.

Josh Wallace CB | LAR
Rams' Josh Wallace: Nearly manages pick-six
Wallace logged six tackles (six solo) and an interception in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.
Wallace played just under half of the defensive snaps with Ahkello Witherspoon (coach's decision) sidelined. Nevertheless, he managed to make a big impact on the game, picking off Sam Darnold midway through the third quarter. Wallace was tackled at the 1-yard line, setting up a short touchdown run for Blake Corum. He also set a new season high with six tackles, doubling his previous best output.
