Cross registered five total tackles (three solo) and an interception in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Denver. Cross was able to secure his third interception of the season, picking off Bo Nix in the third quarter. The safety has stepped into a starting role in 2024, making the most of his opportunity. Cross has now compiled 130 total tackles (80 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed, three of which were interceptions, and a forced fumble over 14 games.
Cross recorded nine tackles (eight solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 25-24 win at New England. Sunday's game was Cross' fifth with nine-plus tackles over the last seven games, and the sack was his first as a pro. He's second in the league in tackles behind teammate Zaire Franklin ahead of the Colts' bye in Week 14.
Cross recorded 14 tackles (six solo), including two for a loss, in Sunday's 24-6 defeat to the Lions. The safety has played on nearly every defensive snap this season and is second only to his teammate, Zaire Franklin, in the NFL in tackles with 116 (Franklin has 123). Cross also has three pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a forced fumble.
Cross recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Bills. Cross has been on a tear this season, as the 2022 second-round pick has played almost every defensive snap, recording 98 tackles (60 solo), two interceptions and a forced fumble through 10 games. An elite athlete who's just 23 years old in his third NFL season, Cross appears to have massive upside and big days ahead.
Cross finished with 10 tackles (seven solo), a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings. The safety also played on every defensive snap for the eighth time in nine games. Cross is tied for fourth in the league with 86 tackles (53 solo). The third-year pro also has three passes defensed, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
Cross recorded nine total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 16-10 win over Miami. Cross finished tied for third on the team in tackles with fellow safety Julian Blackmon, reaching at nine tackles for the fourth time this season. Cross has now produced 69 total tackles (42 solo), an interception, a forced fumble and two passes defensed over seven games in 2024.
Cross logged eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Titans. Cross was the Colts' second-leading tackler Sunday behind Zaire Franklin (nine). Cross has played at least 55 defensive snaps in all six regular-season games and has played 100 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps in five of six contests. He's up to 60 combined tackles on the year, which is tied for fourth-most in the NFL with Franklin, Budda Baker and E.J. Speed.
Cross had five total tackles and an interception in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville. Cross didn't pile up the tackle totals of his first three games (39 total tackles), but came up with an interception. Cross should get plenty of tackle opportunities if the Indy defense continues to struggle against the run.
Cross recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bears. Cross was able to reach double-digit takedowns for the third week in a row to open the 2024 campaign. Through three contests, the safety has compiled 39 tackles (24 solo) and a pass defensed while operating as the starting free safety for Indianapolis.
