This unit leads the league with 39 sacks on the season, tied for a league-high two safeties, as well as two defensive touchdowns on 13 turnovers forced. CB Pat Surtain II Is playing at another level, as is safety Brandon Jones and edge rusher Nik Bonitto, currently tied for the third-most sacks (9) so far this season.
