On the 21st ranked rushing defense and a 5-way tie for 20th in YPC. He's leading with 25 solo tackles, but he also has simply played by far the most snaps.

Vigil 99.3%
Rey 56.2% (started the three games Burfict was suspended)
Burfcit 46.3% (suspended 3 games)
Minter 31.3% (doesn't play nickle)

Tackles also aren't necessarily a stat where more equals better. Case and point, #2 on the team in solo-tackles is Darqueze Dennard with 22, which is never a good thing for CB. It means people are targeting your coverage a lot, and getting completions, thus giving you a chance to make a tackle. (That '10 season where people just refused to throw at Revis, he had 32 solo tackles.)

By the way, this is where the NFL kind of pisses me off because they have absolutely shitty/lazy stat keeping. Tackles weren't an officially recorded stat until 2001, so if you want to know Deion Sander's tackles, you get the last two years of his career and that's it. Meanwhile I can easily look up Babe Ruth's 1914 batting split against LHP and RHP.
