Red Raiders in the NFL: Week 11
November 18, 2025 | Football
Red Raiders in the NFL | Regular Season Week 11, Nov. 13-Nov. 17 Â
Â
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech and defense continue to be a synonymous theme this year, even in the NFL, as former Red Raider Jordyn Brooks recorded 20 tackles in the Dolphins' game in Madrid versus the Commanders this week. It was the most tackles recorded by any player in a single game this season, and he's now logged double-digit stops in three of his last four outings. His season tackle total has reached 125, which is 18 more than the next-best player in the NFL, and has him on pace for 193 tackles, which would tie for the sixth-most in NFL history. Brooks is already 10th on that list with his 184 combined tackles in 2021, when he was a member of the Seahawks.
A complete list of statistics by former Red Raiders in the NFL is below.
