EDGE Analysis

Anzalone had a strong all-around performance in Thursday's win, logging at least seven stops for the second consecutive contest. He also had a good day in coverage, breaking up three total passes, two of which were intended for Dallas tight ends.

EDGE Analysis

Anzalone recorded six tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 34-27 overtime win versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Anzalone has now posted at least six tackles in three of his last four games, but one might have assumed he would collect more in a game where he played a season-high 74 defensive snaps. His per-snap tackle production is at its lowest level this season since before he joined the Lions back in 2021, keeping him out of the IDP picture in most formats despite his large role.

Anzalone registered six tackles (four solo) during the Lions' 16-9 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Anzalone finished Sunday's game in a three-way tie for the second most tackles on the Lions behind Jack Campbell (15). Anzalone's streak of playing every single defensive snap ended at seven games in Week 11, but the veteran linebacker is still having a productive season and has logged at least five tackles in four of his last five games. The 2017 third-rounder is up to 57 tackles (33 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception) through 10 regular-season games.

Anzalone recorded five tackles (three solo) during Detroit's win over the Commanders on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Anzalone's solid season continues, as he's now racked up at least four tackles in all but one game played. The 31-year-old will look to keep producing when the Lions take on the Eagles in Week 11.
