Eight tackles in defeat

Tavai was able to match his season-high eight takedowns in what was a defensive battle in Week 13. The linebacker has now compiled a career-high 72 tackles, including a sack, while forcing a fumble, intercepting a pass and deflecting four others through 12 contests in 2023.
Season-high snap count in loss

Tavai played a season-high 68 defensive snaps Sunday while playing on 96 percent of special team snaps. He saw more action on defense with Ja'Whaun Bentley (hamstring) exiting the game in the second half. Tavai and Mack Wilson -- who also had seven tackles in the game -- will see more defensive snaps in Week 9 against the Commanders if Bentley is unable to play.
