  1. I think Charles Woodson is now tied for most defensive touchdowns with 13.

  2. Magnus, is it a bad thing that a safety is making 15 tackles in a game? I would think you would want a LB or a DL with that stat, not your safety. Thanks for the updates!

    1. It's pretty rare that safeties make 15 tackles in a game, and yes, that's typically a bad thing. However, they were playing against the Eagles - a team that likes to push the pace and run a lot of plays - so that might account for some elevated tackle numbers all around.
