Key posted two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an additional QB hit, during the Titans' 30-24 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Key got to Sam Darnold for a seven-yard sack on a fourth-down play early in the fourth quarter, giving the Titans back the ball at midfield. Key missed four games earlier in the season due to a quadriceps injury but has been productive in the seven regular-season games he's played, having totaled 11 tackles (six solo), including 4.0 sacks. He'll look to add to his sack total during this Sunday's AFC South tilt against the Jaguars.

Pola-Mao recorded three stops (two solo) in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

Pola-Mao maintained his key role in the Las Vegas defense, logging 100 percent of defensive snaps in three of his last four games. Despite the limited production in the loss, he has at least nine tackles in three of his last five contests.

Simon registered seven tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, during the Cardinals' 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Simon played every single defensive snap for a third consecutive game, and he finished tied for the third-most tackles on the Cardinals behind Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker (nine each). Simon has started at linebacker in each of Arizona's last three games, and he'll continue to do so for as long as Mack Wilson (ribs) is on injured reserve.

Hines-Allen recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Cardinals.

Hines-Allen has had a modest season as measured by his sack total, but he's increased his production of late. He has at least 1.0 sacks in three of his last four games, with Sunday's quarterback takedown coming in overtime to help Jacksonville to a win.

Burke registered six tackles (two solo) during the Cardinals' 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Burke played every single defensive snap for the first time this season and finished tied for the fifth-most tackles on the Cardinals during their overtime loss. He has started in each of the Cardinals' last three games, which has coincided with the absence of fellow rookie cornerback Will Johnson (back). Burke would likely revert to a reserve role against the Buccaneers this Sunday if Johnson was cleared to return.

Lloyd recorded five tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Cardinals.

Lloyd had a quiet game from purely a tackle perspective and was surprisingly limited to only 76 percent of defensive snaps. However, he made up for that with the sack and half-sack in the second half, both of which led to punts. Lloyd has only seven stops combined across his last two games, so his trajectory will be worth monitoring.

Dennis posted seven tackles (three solo) during the Buccaneers' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Dennis played every single defensive snap for a fourth consecutive game (and fifth time this season), and he finished Sunday's game with the third-most tackles on the Buccaneers behind Lavonte David and Antoine Winfield (eight each). Dennis has recorded at least seven stops in seven of 11 regular-season games, and he is up to 71 tackles (45 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception) on the year.

McDonald registered zero tackles during the Jets' 23-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

McDonald led all Jets defensive linemen with 44 defensive snaps Sunday, but the third-year pro didn't show up on the box score otherwise. He has been one of the more productive defensive linemen for the Jets this season, and he'll look to bounce back this Sunday against the Falcons.

Jones recorded seven tackles (four solo), including two tackles for loss and one pass defensed in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Cardinals.

Jones has played at least 70 percent of defensive snaps in four straight games and he's logged 24 tackles in that span. He's also tallied four passes defensed and an interception across those four matchups.

Brownlee posted five tackles (three solo) during the Jets' 23-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Brownlee logged at least five tackles for the fifth time in six games during Sunday's loss. However, the second-year corner played just 23 of 63 defensive snaps (36.5 percent), his lowest since Week 5 against the Cowboys when he played just seven defensive snaps. It's unclear whether Brownlee's workload will change when the Jets host the Falcons this Sunday.
