It came after he positioned himself squarely in the path of a Matthew Stafford pass deep in Rams territory in the middle of the third quarter, and it set up a field goal to tie the contest at 13-13. He'll be looking to keep up the momentum against the Giants and quarterback J.J. McCarthy in Week 10.

The fifth-year pro has accumulated 19 total tackles over his last two games, which has coincided with his move to a starting role due to Tremaine Edmunds (chest) being on injured reserve.
