Jones recorded four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets.

The 32-year-old defensive lineman had gotten off to a slow start to begin the 2026 season, his 11th in the league. Prior to Sunday, he'd recorded just 0.5 sacks across the first seven games, so his 2.0 sacks were his first full ones of the campaign. Jones is now up to 17 tackles (eight solo), including 2.5 sacks, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery on 72 percent of the defensive snaps.

Karlaftis recorded six tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets.

After starting the season without a sack in his first four games, Karlaftis has 4.0 sacks over his last four contests. For the season, the 25-year-old edge rusher is up to 32 tackles (16 solo), including the 4.0 sacks, a career-high nine pass breakups, including his first career interception, and a forced fumble across eight games. He's on pace to shatter his previous career high of 48 tackles, which was set last season.

Singleton recorded six tackles (two solo) during the Broncos' 26-21 win over the Panthers in Week 9.

Singleton's six stops were a season low, but he still finished second on the Broncos in that category behind Jahdae Barron (eight). It's been a career year for Singleton, who is up to an NFL-leading 107 total tackles through nine regular-season games, which includes 2.0 sacks.

Lloyd posted eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Panthers' 26-21 loss to the Broncos in Week 9.

Lloyd played every single defensive snap and co-led the Panthers in tackles with Tyrel Dodson. It was the fifth time this season that Lloyd has logged at least seven combined tackles, and the fifth-year pro is up to 54 stops (32 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception and a pick-six) across seven regular-season games.

Bolton recorded 12 tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets.

Bolton doesn't do much in the box scores other than rack up tackles, but he's good at that and now has five double-digit tackles games through eight contests to begin the 2026 campaign. For the season, Bolton is up to 80 tackles (39 solo), two pass breakups and a forced fumble on 99 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps.

Cook registered 10 tackles (five solo) during the Bengals' win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Cook had his most productive outing of the campaign, logging a season-high 10 tackles. The 2022 second-round pick will look to build on this performance and keep producing during the team's Week 10 matchup versus the Steelers.

Tranquill collected 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets.

It was Tranquill's second double-digit tackles game of the season, and both have come over the last three weeks. The veteran linebacker has piled up 66 tackles (33 solo), two pass breakups and one fumble recovery on 88 percent of the defensive snaps across eight games this season.

Gonzalez logged 10 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense during the Patriots' 45-27 loss to the Packers in Week 9.

Gonzalez's 10 stops were a season high, but the larger concern was his poor performance in coverage. Per Pro Football Focus, Gonzalez on coverage for 11 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Jordan Love had a 158.3 passing rating while targeting the fourth-year defensive back. It wasn't the performance that the Patriots were expecting after signing Gonzalez to a lucrative four-year, $135 million contract extension in September. Things won't get easier for him nor the Patriots' secondary, as they travel to Munich for Week 10 against the Lions, whose offense ranks fourth in the NFL in yards per game (379.8).

Carter compiled 10 tackles (two solo), an interception and a pass deflection during Cincinnati's win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Carter had one of his most productive outings of the season during the victory, as he matched Bryan Cook for the most tackles on the team in addition to recording his first interception of the campaign. The 2025 fourth-round pick has racked up 68 tackles (28 solo), including 1.5 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles across eight games this season and will look to keep producing next week versus the Steelers.

Williams logged five tackles (four solo) and one interception during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.

Brandon Cisse broke up a deep pass from Drake Maye to Kyle Williams early in the second quarter, and Williams was able to make a toe-tapping grab for the takeaway. Williams is up to three interceptions on the year, which ties his career high that he set across 16 regular-season games in 2025. The third-year defensive back is up to 76 tackles (48 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass defenses and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.
