The full breakdown
Gardner quietly executed his duties across six special teams snaps without a single negative play. He earned positive marks on two punts, first delivering an accurate snap from deep in his own territory and releasing in coverage (Q2 14:14), and later snapping cleanly and on time to force a fair catch inside the 15-yard line (Q4 14:56). With the remaining four snaps graded routine and neutral, his error-free showing settled cleanly into a solid replacement-level grade.
