S Chamarri Conner
In a closer-than-expected victory against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Chiefs safety Chamarri Conner posted four total tackles, alongside a TFL over 44 snaps. Conner’s four tackles, which were the fourth highest amongst the Chiefs’ defense on Sunday, raised his total tackle account to 52 over eleven games. The former fourth-round pick saw an uptick in his PFF run defense grade after the 30-27 win, as Conner now sits at a 78.8 grade on the season.
DT Tim Settle
Texans defensive end Tim Settle provided yet another reliable outing for Houston in the game against the Titans on Sunday. The former Hokie posted three tackles on the day, raising his tackle total to 23 through 12 games this season. Sunday’s contest was also the sixth consecutive game in which Settle posted a solo tackle, as 19 of the 23 Philadelphia, Penn. native’s tackles are solo endeavors. While the Texans were overpowered by quarterback Will Levis and the Titans 32-27, Houston will have a chance to land back in the win column against a 2-9 Jacksonville team in Week 13.
