Racks up 10 stops Week 16 Metellus tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Impact Metellus led the Vikings in stops in the defeat, posting his first double-digit total since Week 3 of last season. The fourth-year safety has played 100 percent of the Vikings' defensive snaps each of his past six games and has recorded at least five stops in every contest during that span. Metellus was primarily a special-teamer prior to this year, but he's blossomed in a near every-down role this season, posting 103 tackles (67 solo), including 2.5 sacks, along with an interception and four forced fumbles over 15 games.

Second career INT in win Metellus had eight tackles (five solo) and a 43-yard interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.

Impact Metellus tied with Jordan Hicks and Harrison Phillips with eight total tackles on the day. His interception came in the third quarter on a deep pass from Jordan Love that was intended for Jayden Reed, which Metellus returned into Packers' territory, which led to a 20-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to Jordan Addison one play later. Although Metellus sits behind Harrison Smith and Camryn Bynum on the safety depth chart, he still played in 98 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday and has carved himself an every-down role in the Vikings' secondary.

Impact Metellus' forced fumble led to a defensive touchdown for Minnesota. It marked his first involvement in a turnover on the season. The safety was on the field for 58 defensive snaps (89 percent) and 11 (42 percent) on special teams. He will look to carry that momentum into Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.
