What happened: Minnesota linebacker Blake Cashman sacked Daniel Jones in the Week 7 meeting with Indianapolis. The performance extended his run to 17 straight games with at least seven tackles, the longest active streak in the NFL.

Why it matters: Minnesota named Cashman a captain for 2026, underscoring his role in Brian Flores veteran-led disguise packages. His 2025 baseline of 144 tackles and 2 sacks across 13 games established that every-down role.

By the numbers: 3 pass breakups led Week 7 linebackers; 17 consecutive 7-plus-tackle games leads active NFL streaks; 144 tackles, 2 sacks in 13 games in 2025.

What to watch: Minnesota moves to Week 8 with Cashman anchoring the middle. His tackle streak and coverage production are the markers to track.
