Simon makes 15 tackles
It was a mostly bad day for the Arizona Cardinals’ defense in their 37-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but Cody Simon was a bright spot.
The rookie linebacker from Ohio State made a whopping 15 tackles, the second-most among NFL players in Week 17, including his first career sack as he took down Joe Burrow on an explosive blitz to the quarterback.
Simon, who made his seventh consecutive start for the Cardinals on Sunday, has now recorded 68 total tackles in his rookie season after he was selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft.
