JANUARY 28 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Team leader in tackles Tavai finished the 2024 regular season with 115 tackles (58 solo), a sack and an interception in 17 games.

Impact In his fourth season with the Patriots, Tavai set a career high mark in tackles, while leading the team in that category. The 28-year-old is under contract with New England through 2027, and is thus set to remain a key part of the defense in 2025, while maintaining his role as a starting linebacker for new head coach Mike Vrabel.

Logs 10 tackles against Bolts Tavai finished Saturday's 40-7 loss to the Chargers with 10 tackles (five solo).

Impact It was a rough game defensively for the Patriots on Saturday, who allowed the Chargers to score on eight of 10 offensive drives while maintaining possession of the ball for over 40 minutes. The Patriots logged 85 combined tackles compared to the Chargers' 49, and Tavai led New England with 10 tackles of his own, which is the third time he's reached that total this season. His effort in Week 17 puts him at 111 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, which surpassed his career high from 2023 (110 through 17 regular-season games). Tavai will look to finish the 2024 campaign on a high note against the Bills on Sunday.

Helps create turnover Sunday Tavai recorded five tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts.

Impact Teammate Christian Elliss was credited with the interception, but it was Tavai who started the tip drill on an Anthony Richardson pass over the middle that led to a turnover in the first quarter in Week 13. Tavai is on pace for a career year going into the Patriots' bye in Week 14.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leading tackler in loss Tavai recorded eight total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact The 28-year-old tied Marcus Jones as the Patriots' leading-tackler Sunday and has now accumulated a team-leading 83 total tackles through 12 games. Tavai is on pace for the best statistical season of his career in 2024, as he is likely to surpass his previous highs of 110 total tackles and five passes defended before the season concludes. Expect Tavai to remain one of the Patriots' top inside linebackers as the season progresses.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies seven stops in loss Tavai recorded seven total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams.

Impact Tavai was the Patriots' second-leading tackler in Sunday's loss, trailing just Marcus Jones' nine-stop effort. The veteran inside linebacker leads New England's defense in total tackles (75) and is second in tackles for loss (six) through the team's first 10 games. He's expected to continue being a tackling machine ahead of the Patriots' Week 12 divisional matchup against the Dolphins.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Notches first sack of 2024 Tavai posted nine tackles (seven solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

Impact The Patriots sacked Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams a whopping nine times, and Tavai got in on the action with his first sack of the season. The 2019 second-round pick has averaged 6.8 tackles per game this season, which hurts his consistency for fantasy purposes, but he'll certainly have viability as he approaches a second straight 100-tackle campaign.

Big game in defeat Tavai recorded 11 tackles (six solo), including a tackle for a loss, a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Titans.

Impact The inside linebacker also played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps for the eighth time in nine games this season. Tavai has 59 tackles (30 solo), two passes defensed and an interception on the year.

Ready to go for Week 9 Tavai (back) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

Impact Tavai was limited at practice to open the week due to a back injury, but the linebacker was able to log a full practice Friday, dispelling any chance that he'd be unavailable for Week 9. The 28-year-old has compiled 48 total tackles (24 solo) and a pass defensed over eight games in 2024.

He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. Through the first eight games of the regular season, Tavai has logged 48 tackles (24 soloo) and one pass breakup.
