What happened: PFF credited second-year wideout Luther Burden with six missed tackles forced, tops among wide receivers this season. Malik Nabers, Dohnte Meyers, Jalen Coker, Malik Washington, Ja'Marr Chase and Chris Godwin sit tied at four apiece.
Why it matters: Forced misses turn short throws into extended drives and red-zone chances without scheme help. Early-season separation matters because tackle-breaking production tends to stabilize targets when coverage tightens.
By the numbers: Burden 6; Nabers 4, Meyers 4, Coker 4, Washington 4, Chase 4, Godwin 4.
What to watch: Watch whether Burden extends the gap in Week 4 as tackling reports update.
