  • 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.

  • Kobie Turner DL | LAR

    Rams' Kobie Turner: Getting after quarterback

    Turner recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also logging an interception and two passes defensed in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks.

    Though the Rams' defense underperformed relative to its typical standard, Turner turned in one of his better games of the season. He now has at least 1.0 sacks in four of his last five contests and has a chance to turn in double-digit sacks in a campaign for the first time in his career.

  • Jawaan Taylor OT | ATL

    Chiefs' Jawaan Taylor: Won't play against Tennessee

    Taylor (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Taylor will miss a third consecutive game due to a triceps injury, and with Jaylon Moore (knee) also sidelined, the Chiefs may have to turn to Mike Caliendo, Hunter Nourzad or C.J. Hanson to fill in at right tackle. Taylor's next opportunity to play is Christmas Day against the Broncos.
