About this leaderboard

Compare NFL defensive production in games where each player's team was an underdog during the 2026 season. This leaderboard isolates combined tackles in the underdog role and includes solo tackles, assists, sacks, tackles for loss, interceptions, and forced fumbles. Use the split to examine historical defensive workload when teams were expected to trail. It does not guarantee future results.
