Wilson recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) during Sundays' 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Payton led the Steelers in tackles Sunday, and it was the third time he's logged double-digit stops this season. The third-year linebacker is up to 55 combines tackles, which leads the Steelers and is eighth-most in the NFL. He should remain busy in Week 7 against the Saints, whose offense led by QB Tyler Shough put up 34 points in a win over the Giants in Week 6.

Herbig recorded six solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, during the Steelers' 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Herbig did not record a sack through the first five games of the regular season, but the fourth-year pro got to quarterback Jalon Daniels twice during Sunday's OT victory. Herbig is up to 18 tackles (13 solo) and one forced fumble through six regular-season games while working in a rotational role on defense.

Werner recorded 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed during Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Werner was able to register double-digit stops for the second straight week and third time overall this season. The linebacker was also able to get to the quarterback in Week 6, sacking Jameis Winston in the second quarter. Through six games so far this year, Werner has compiled 46 total tackles (23 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also producing two passes defensed.

Ramsey tallied 10 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Steelers' 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Ramsey was responsible for two of the Steelers' five sacks on Jalon Daniels during Sunday's OT win. Ramsey's first sack came on the third play of the game, and his second sack on Daniels was on a fourth-and-8 in overtime to seal the game for the Steelers. Ramsey has accumulated 19 total tackles over his last two games and is up to 37 stops (23 solo), two pass defenses and one forced fumble through six regular-season games.

Emerson recorded seven solo tackles and four passes defensed, including two interceptions, during Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Emerson was all over the field in Week 6, finishing second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Pete Werner (11). The cornerback was thrust into a more prominent role in the secondary after Kool-Aid McKinstry was forced out of the game with a migraine, and Emerson definitely didn't disappoint. He was able to reel in a pair of interceptions, picking off Jameis Winston in the third quarter before jumping in front of a pass from J.J. McCarthy one quarter later.

Simmons logged six tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during the Titans' 26-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Simmons had just 1.0 sacks through five regular-season games, but he doubled that total during Sunday's win, which was Tennessee's first of the 2026 campaign. He stripped Jonathan Taylor of the football on the Colts' opening play of the third quarter and recovered the football himself, which led to a 29-yard field goal by Joey Slye seven plays later to put the Titans on the board. Simmons leads all defensive tackles with 34 combined stops through six regular-season games.

Bullock tallied five tackles (three solo) and an interception during Houston's win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Bullock had a strong outing in the win, logging the Texans' lone interception of Trevor Lawrence. The 23-year-old has now logged 26 tackles (17 solo) and an interception across six games to start the season.

Hooker logged 13 tackles (seven solo) and one interception during the Titans' 26-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

The Titans captured their first win of the season Sunday thanks largely to their defense and special teams. Hooker did his part with a game-high 13 combined tackles, and he made a toe-tap sideline interception off Daniel Jones late in the first quarter that stopped the Colts' red zone drive in its tracks. Hooker is up to 41 tackles (27 solo) and three pass defenses (including two interceptions) across five regular-season games and is on track to crack the tackling century mark for the first time in his eight-year NFL career.

Walker recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills.

Walker was able to notch at least six tackles in a contest for the fifth time this season, and his biggest moment of the game came in the first quarter, when he sacked Josh Allen for a five-yard loss. The linebacker has now registered 40 total tackles (17 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding one fumble recovery over his first six regular-season games as a member of the Raiders.

Hamilton finished Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns with seven tackles (six solo).

Hamilton played every single defensive snap for the third time in six games. Three of his seven tackles resulted in a loss, and he finished third on the team in combined stops behind Trenton Simpson and Jaylinn Hawkins (eight each). Hamilton has recorded at least seven combined tackles in four of his last five games and is up to 46 tackles (32 solo), four pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.
