Nate Landman: Everything you need to know

Landman recorded 132 total tackles (64 solo), including 2.5 sacks, six passes defensed, one interception and four forced fumbles over 17 games in 2025. There's a reason the Rams handed Landman a three-year, $22.5 million extension earlier this season; Landman's emergence as a leader of the defense in his first season in Los Angeles. His 132 tackles were both a team and career high for the four-year vet, and he also led the Rams with four forced fumbles. He'll remain a key component of a young Rams defense in 2026, and will get his first taste of playoff football on Saturday in the wild-card round against the Panthers.

Landman recorded six tackles (two solo) in Monday night's loss to the Falcons. Facing his former Atlanta teammates for the first time, Landman's six tackles were his fourth-fewest in a game this season. The 27-year-old linebacker has started all 16 games in 2025, producing 129 tackles (62 solo), including 2.5 sacks, six pass breakups, including one interception, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on 92 percent of the defensive snaps. All those marks are new single-season career-highs for Landman, who signed a three-year extension with Los Angeles last month.

Landman recorded five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 38-37 loss to the Seahawks. Landman logged a 100 percent defensive snap rate for the second consecutive week. He turned in a modest tackle total, though he did manage to log his first sack since Week 7. Landman has already easily posted the most productive campaign of his career and will almost certainly maintain a key role in the middle of the Rams' defense down the stretch of the regular season.
