Ranked among NFL players who qualify (TOT, SOLO, SACK, PD, FF: 8+ games; AST: 4+ games) that season; only the top 50 are shown. How each stat qualifies: glossary.
| GP: Games the player appeared in, however briefly. | TOT: Tackles made, solo and assisted together. | SOLO: Tackles made without help. | AST: Assisted tackles, where the player helped bring the carrier down. | SACK: Quarterbacks tackled behind the line of scrimmage. A shared sack counts as a half. | INT: Interceptions — thrown away by a quarterback, taken by a defender. | PD: Passes defensed — throws broken up before they were caught. | FF: Fumbles forced by knocking the ball loose. | ||
