Jordan Zaragoza Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
On Thursday, United got the W thanks in part to Jordan Zaragoza playing the best football he has all season. Zaragoza wasn't messing around, making 21 total tackles (2.0 for loss). The match was his seventh straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This year, Zaragoza has averaged 11.7 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.57 total tackles per game.

Colt Lozano produced his most outstanding game to date while leading United to the win on Thursday. Lozano's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 100 receiving yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Lozano might just drop another big game when he faces off against Eagle Pass on Saturday. When Lozano last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he picked up 125 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
