One week after playing just 45 defensive snaps, Patriots defenders were on the field for almost double that total against the Packers (84, including penalties). So that led to some significant movement on the team's tackle charts, as leader Jerod Mayo was credited by coaches with a whopping 19 tackles Sunday night.
A look at the team's tackle 2010 leaderboard (based on coaches' tabulations):
LB Jerod Mayo -- 181 tackles (108 solo, 73 assisted)
S Patrick Chung -- 82 tackles (60 solo, 22 assisted)
CB Devin McCourty -- 77 tackles (66 solo, 11 assisted)
DL Vince Wilfork -- 73 tackles (44 solo, 29 assisted)
ILB Brandon Spikes -- 71 tackles (41 solo, 30 assisted)
CB Kyle Arrington -- 60 tackles (45 solo, 15 assisted)
S Brandon Meriweather -- 60 tackles (43 solo, 17 assisted)
S James Sanders -- 60 tackles (40 solo, 20 assisted)
LB Gary Guyton -- 56 tackles (39 solo, 17 assisted)
