What happened: Inside the NFL featured Fred Warner during Week 9 coverage, focusing on his signature punchout maneuver to dislodge footballs. Warner previously forced a fumble against the Rams in Australia using the same ball-stripping technique.
Why it matters: Turnover creation remains central to defensive efficiency across the league, with Warner serving as a benchmark for linebacker execution. The former 2018 third-round pick continues to disrupt opposing possessions by generating takeaways in critical game situations.
By the numbers: Warner has made 77 tackles with 0.5 sacks in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Warner continues his 2026 campaign as opposing offenses scheme protections to counter his takeaway ability.
