Drue Tranquill: It's a Meaningful game Linebacker Drue Tranquill talks to media about stopping the run game and containing the passing game this Sunday vs the Las Vegas Raiders

Nine stops Week 12 Tranquill logged nine tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Tranquill finished with the Chargers' second-most tackles behind safety Alohi Gilman (10), as the linebacker continued to play an every-down role Week 12. The 234-pounder also came one stop shy of notching his fifth double-digit tackle outing of the season, increasing his season total to 98 over 11 games. Tranquill has already logged career highs in tackles, sacks (three) and passes defended (two), and he'll look to keep up this significant production next Sunday against the division-rival Raiders.

Seven stops in close loss Tranquill recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 30-27 defeat to the Chiefs.

Impact Tranquill's production came back down to earth after he logged a season-high 15 tackles against the 49ers last week. However, the linebacker still tied safety Derwin James for a team high in tackles Week 12, as the Chargers' defense once again struggled to keep the Chiefs' offense in check for a full four quarters. Tranquill has now played every defensive snap in four of the Bolts' last five games, recording 33 tackles and three sacks over that span. He will look to continue his career-best campaign against the Cardinals this coming Sunday.

Tranquill has already set new career highs in tackles and sacks (three) this season, and he'll likely continue to play almost every defensive snap Sunday against the Chiefs.
