  • Malik Mustapha SAF | SF

    49ers' Malik Mustapha: Leads team in tackles

    Mustapha logged 10 tackles (six solo) during the 49ers' win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Mustapha was San Francisco's leading tackler during the victory, and he has now compiled double-digit stops twice this season. The 23-year-old will look to build on this strong performance and keep producing during the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Colts.

  • Matt Milano OLB | BUF

    Bills' Matt Milano: Dominant in big Week 15 victory

    Milano registered 10 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Sunday in a 35-31 win against New England.

    Milano put forth a monstrous effort in the comeback victory. He not only led Buffalo in tackles, he also sacked Drake Maye twice -- both in the second half. Milano's tackle total was a season-high mark and his most in a game since the 2023 campaign.

  • Tyrel Dodson LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyrel Dodson: Posts 10 stops in loss

    Dodson compiled 10 tackles (eight solo) during Miami's loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Dodson had a strong performance despite the loss, finishing second on the team in tackles behind Jordyn Brooks' 13. The 27-year-old is having the best season of his career, having already set new personal bests in both tackles and sacks, and he will look to add to his totals across the Dolphins' final three games of the campaign.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Season-high 12 stops in Week 15

    Al-Shaair posted 12 tackles (seven solo) during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Al-Shaair's 12 stops Sunday were a season high and the sixth time in his NFL career that he has reached that mark. He has played every single defensive snap in eight of the Texans' last nine games since the Week 6 bye and is up to 96 tackles (46 solo), eight pass defenses (one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 14 regular-season games. Al-Shaair could reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his seven-year NFL career as soon as this Sunday against the Raiders.

  • D.J. Wonnum LB | DET

    Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Logs 2.0 sacks in Week 15 loss

    Wonnum recorded four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in a loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

    Wonnum led a strong effort by Carolina's defense, but the team's offense was able to put up just 17 points. Wonnum got into the sacks column for the first time this season after going 12 games without taking down the opposing QB. He posted 4.0 sacks in just eight contests last year.

  • Barrett Carter LB | CIN

    Bengals' Barrett Carter: Has dud game vs. Ravens

    Carter recorded three tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 24-0 loss versus Baltimore.

    Carter's tackle total in Week 15 was his lowest since Week 2, when he played zero defensive snaps versus Jacksonville. Granted, his 40 defensive snaps Sunday were the fewest he played since Week 5 versus the Lions (33). He'll look to bounce back in a Week 16 matchup at Miami.

  • Patrick Queen LB | PIT

    Steelers' Patrick Queen: Leading tackler in win

    Queen registered 10 tackles (nine solo) during Pittsburgh's win over the Dolphins on Monday.

    Queen led the Steelers in tackles during the victory and has now totaled double-digit stops in five outings this season. Across 14 games played, the 26-year-old has compiled 106 tackles (49 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and will look to keep producing during the team's Week 16 matchup against the Lions.

  • Nick Scott SAF | CAR

    Panthers' Nick Scott: Reaches double-digit stops Week 15

    Scott totaled 10 tackles (six solo) Sunday in a loss to New Orleans.

    Scott was the Panthers' leading tackler in the disappointing loss. The veteran safety has been quite productive of late, tallying at least eight tackles in each of his past four games. Scott's 10 stops Sunday pushed his season tally to 85 through 14 contests, putting him one shy of his career-best regular-season mark of 86, which he set in 2022 with the Rams.

  • Jordan Battle SAF | CIN

    Bengals' Jordan Battle: Tallies another interception Sunday

    Battle recorded eight tackles (seven solo) and an interception during Sunday's 24-0 loss versus the Ravens.

    Battle got his fourth interception of the season in the middle of the second quarter when the game was still tied 0-0, and he led Cincinnati in tackles in Week 15. His tackle total Sunday is even more impressive when it's taken into account that he only played 40 defensive snaps. He has played himself into the IDP conversation in 2025, and he'll be looking to keep up the momentum in a Week 16 tilt at Miami.

  • Foye Oluokun LB | JAC

    Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Team-high eight tackles vs. NYJ

    Oluokun tallied eight tackles (three solo) during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Oluokun led all Jaguars defenders by playing 52 defensive snaps and finished with a team-high eight stops. The veteran linebacker has logged at least five stops in each of the Jaguars' seven games since the Week 8 bye, and over that span he has accumulated 56 tackles (26 solo) and six pass defenses. Oluokun is up to 111 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, which is tied with Alex Singleton for the 14th-most tackles in the league.
