What happened: Simmons and Williams share the league benchmark for sacks among defensive interior linemen this season. Zach Allen sits just behind them among the league leaders at the position.

Why it matters: Interior pressure forces opposing offenses to alter protections and accelerates throwing windows. Sustained disruption from the defensive interior remains one of the most coveted roster assets for contending teams down the stretch.

What to watch: Defensive coordinators will monitor how upcoming opponents adjust protections to neutralize interior pressure.
