Sonny Styles had an INCREDIBLE coming out party vs the Seahawks on Sunday | @jaccollinsworth https://t.co/Nh2iyu6Ti3 Via @PFF on X

What happened: Styles delivered a loaded Sunday stat line against Seattle: five tackles, one interception, two pass breakups, a forced fumble and a quarterback hit. The No. 7 pick's playmaking showed up at every level, from coverage to the ball to pressure.

Why it matters: A linebacker who can produce a takeaway, a forced fumble and multiple pass breakups in one game changes the math for an offense. It also reinforces Styles' NFC Defensive Player of the Week honor and keeps his early rookie push moving.

By the numbers: Against Seattle, Styles accounted for four disruption plays beyond tackles: one interception, two pass breakups and one forced fumble. Add the quarterback hit, and the outing checked both coverage and pressure boxes in the same game.

What to watch: The next test is whether Styles can stack another disruptive game once opponents start planning for him. Another week with splash plays would move this from one breakout Sunday to a trend.
