  • Patrick Queen LB | PIT

    Steelers' Patrick Queen: Interception in loss to New England

    Queen recorded two tackles (zero solo) and an interception in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots.

    Queen played all 55 defensive snaps against New England but was mostly held off the stat sheet aside from his interception of Drake Maye on the opening drive of the third quarter with the Steelers trailing 10-3. It was the fifth interception of Queen's career and his first since Week 16 of the 2023 campaign. Through two games this season, Queen has logged 10 tackles (two solo) and the pick on one pass breakup.

  • Amani Hooker SAF | TEN

    Titans' Amani Hooker: Notches interception in loss

    Hooker logged six tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed for an interception in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Hooker intercepted Jalen Hurts in the end zone during the Eagles' first offensive drive, returning the ball 92 yards to Tennessee's 10-yard line. The safety played all 76 defensive plays for the Titans in Sunday's contest.

  • Texans' Will Anderson: Notches sack in loss

    Anderson compiled eight total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed in Sunday's 20-6 loss to Cincinnati.

    Anderson was able to get to the quarterback again during Week 2, bringing down Joe Burrow for a five-yard loss in the second quarter. The 25-year-old finished second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (12), and Anderson has now registered 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also notching a pass defensed over two games this season.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Records 107 all-purpose yards vs. Cincinnati

    Noel caught one pass on five targets for 31 yards and added a 13-yard carry during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also returned three punts for 32 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards.

    The second-year wideout saw a bump in offensive snaps due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring), with Noel's 48 snaps ranking third-most among Houston WRs behind Xavier Hutchinson (65) and Kayshon Boutte (58). Noel's offensive production didn't match his increased playing time, but he should continue to operate in an elevated role on offense while still handling primary return duties if Collins is ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Secures 12 tackles in loss

    Al-Shaair recorded 12 total tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

    Al-Shaair was on the field for every defensive snap for the second straight week, leading the team in takedowns against Cincinnati. The linebacker has now registered 20 total tackles (11 solo) over the first two contests of the year.

  • Bryce Lance WR | NO

    Saints' Bryce Lance: Logs just one catch in Week 2 win

    Lance caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-17 victory against Baltimore.

    Lance was on the field for 54 of New Orleans' 68 offensive snaps, but he had only one pass thrown his way by Tyler Shough. Chris Olave (10 targets) and Devaughn Vele (seven) got 17 of the Saints' 19 total wideout targets, so Lance wasn't alone in having a quiet day among the team's complementary options. Barion Brown logged just two offensive snaps Sunday and Kevin Austin notched five, so Lance seems to be clearly ahead of both in the pecking order.

  • Titans' Anthony Hill: Plays all defensive snaps in loss

    Hill recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

    Hill played all 76 of the Titans' defensive plays in Sunday's contest. The middle linebacker has now participated in all 143 of the team's defensive snaps through two regular-season games and has logged 26 total tackles in that span.

  • Mack Wilson LB | ARI

    Cardinals' Mack Wilson: Nine tackles in loss

    Wilson recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Wilson briefly exited Week 2 with a thumb injury but quickly returned and ended up playing 92.9 percent of the defensive snaps versus Seattle. After two games this season, Wilson has 15 tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Hauls in 55-yard pass in Week 2 win

    Legette caught two passes on four targets for 64 yards during the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Legette was held without a catch in a Week 1 loss to the Bears, when he saw only two targets. His targets in Week 2 doubled, and he split the Falcons' secondary to connect on a deep ball from Bryce Young for a 55-yard gain late in the second quarter, which set up a Darren Waller touchdown three plays later. That 55-yard catch was the longest of Legette's three-year NFL career and his first reception of 40-plus yards. He'll operate as the Panthers' WR3 behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker heading into a Week 3 road tilt against the Browns.

  • Budda Baker S | ARI

    Cardinals' Budda Baker: Piles up 11 tackles in defeat

    Baker recorded 11 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

    While Baker racked up a load of tackles, he was burned in coverage on Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 82-yard touchdown on a double-move in the first quarter. JSN made the entire Arizona secondary look foolish en route to 9-155-3 receiving line across 11 targets. Through two games this season, Baker has 16 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, on 100 percent of the defensive snaps.
