Devin Lloyd recorded his second straight 10 or more tackle game last Sunday when he tallied 11 tackles against Houston. This was his third game this season with 10 or more tackles. He set his career-high the previous week with 14 tackles against Philadelphia.

Cody Barton also earned a start at the linebacker position for Seattle. Barton led the Seahawks with 12 tackles on Sunday against the Saints, which was a season-high. Like Lloyd, it was his third game with 10 or more tackles this season. His first two were the first and second week of the season.
