First sack of season
Ford posted five tackles (four solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Ford posted a season high in tackles and his first sack of the season in Week 6. The 26-year-old defensive tackle has had a slow start to the year with just 15 tackles through six games. He averaged more than three stops per game last year, so perhaps his strong performance this week is a sign that he has turned a corner.
