What the box score actually says
21 tackles. 0 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 3.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
His game this year: disruption in the backfield — 3 tackles for loss, 1 of them a sack, in the 7 games with play by play.
