Dolphins' Jacob Rodriguez: Gets first career sack Sunday
Rodriguez recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 19-9 loss versus the Lions.
Rodriguez and the entire Dolphins defense performed well against a strong Detroit offense in Week 9, especially against the run. Rodriguez also recorded the first sack of his pro career late in the first quarter, pushing quarterback Jared Goff out of bounds for no gain. He ranks seventh in the NFL in total tackles on the season going into a Week 10 tilt at Indianapolis.

Isaiah McDuffie LB | GB
Packers' Isaiah McDuffie: Takes down Maye in Week 9 victory
McDuffie registered 10 tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots in Week 9.
McDuffie's first tackle of the game was a nine-yard sack on Drake Maye early in the first quarter, which led to the Patriots punting the ball away on the next play. McDuffie also recovered the fumble he forced late in the third quarter, which the Packers offense turned into a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love to Christian Watson one play later. McDuffie has racked up double-digit stops in three consecutive games, and he's been the starting inside linebacker in each of those contests due to the absence of Zaire Franklin (shin). McDuffie should hang onto his starting role against the Vikings on Sunday assuming Franklin is ruled out for that game.

It was the second interception of the season for Stukes, who was a second-round selection of the Raiders in the 2026 NFL Draft.
