Spillane secured eight tackles (five solo) Sunday in a 19-14 win against Jacksonville. Spillane's tackle total ranked second on the Raiders and marked his fourth straight contest with at least seven stops. The veteran linebacker is up to 134 tackles on the season, seventh-most in the NFL. Spillane needs 14 stops over Las Vegas' final two games to reach the career-high mark of 148 he established last year.
Spillane logged eight tackles (four solo), a pass deflection and an interception during the Raiders' loss versus the Falcons on Monday. Spillane was one of Las Vegas' few bright spots during Monday's loss as he finished second on the team in tackles in addition to snagging his second interception of the season. He will look to build off this strong performance and produce again during the team's Week 16 matchup versus the Jaguars.
Spillane registered seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 28-13 loss to Tampa Bay. Spillane tied Darnay Holmes for the second-most tackles on the Raiders on Sunday behind Tre'von Moehrig (eight). Spillane has played every single defensive snap in the four games since the Raiders' Week 10 bye, and has done so in 11 of 13 regular-season contests. He's up to 118 tackles (72 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass defenses and one interception.
Spillane finished Friday's Week 13 loss to the Chiefs with nine tackles (seven solo). Spillane led Las Vegas in stops in the loss, though he failed to reach double-digit tackles for just the fifth time through 12 contests this season. The star linebacker currently ranks third in the NFL with 111 tackles, though most other defenders have yet to play their Week 13 game. In any case, Spillane remains a strong IDP asset due to this ability to rack up stops.
Spillane recorded 11 tackles (five solo) during Las Vegas' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Spillane's strong season continues as he once again led the team in total stops. Sunday's loss was the seventh time this season the 28-year-old has racked up double-digit tackles in just 10 games played, and he will look to keep producing during the team's Week 12 matchup versus the Broncos.
Spillane racked up 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 34-19 loss to the Dolphins. Spillane had a chance to get healthy during the Raiders' bye after playing through a knee injury in Week 9, and he ultimately paced the defense in takedowns Sunday while bringing his season tally to 97 total tackles through 10 games. He'll have his hands full again in Week 12 against a Broncos offense that just hung 38 points on Atlanta.
Spillane registered seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 41-24 loss to Cincinnati. Spillane played through a knee injury Sunday, but he managed to finish tied with Isaiah Pola-Mao for second-most tackles on the team behind Tre'von Moehrig (13). Spillane hasn't managed to crack 10 combined tackles in three of his last four games, but he's up to 86 tackles through nine regular-season games, which is tied with Nick Cross for fourth-most in the NFL.
Spillane (knee) is active for Sunday's battle against the Bengals. Spillane was not able to practice at all this week due to a knee issue, but he'll tough it out and suit up against Cincinnati. He's missed only one defensive snap so far this season, but it remains to be seen if the linebacker will be able to log his usual workload given the injury. Spillane has been very productive with double-digit tackles in six of his eight games so far this season.
Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters Friday that Spillane (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. The 28-year-old was unable to practice all week after sustaining a knee injury in the Raiders' Week 8 loss to the Chiefs. However, Pierce's comments Friday suggest that Spillane still has a chance to suit up Sunday. If he's unable to go Sunday, expect Kana'i Mauga to serve as the Raiders' top middle linebacker.
