The full breakdown

Orange posted an active 66 run defense mark driven by splash penetration, balanced out by significant losses against Chicago's zone blocks. He created high-end disruption by crossing the guard's face on third down (Q1 8:21) and using an interior swim move to stop a run on 2nd & 1 (Q3 1:02). However, he was reached and sealed by the center on two separate occasions (Q2 4:59, Q3 13:27) and surrendered a 12-yard gain when blown off the ball by a double team (Q3 12:13). With zero grade movement across 9 pass rush reps, his boom-or-bust run defense defined his afternoon.
