The full breakdown

Rodgers earned a 67.5 overall grade by combining strong perimeter run support and high-impact clutch moments with mostly quiet coverage work across 77 snaps. He showed good hustle and block-shedding early, highlighted by a goal-line fumble recovery at Q3 09:42. In the fourth quarter, he provided an elite special teams play by timing the snap off the edge to block a 23-yard field goal (Q4 06:26). His coverage day saw late volatility, as he gave up a 21-yard sideline reception after losing outside leverage at Q4 00:38, but redeemed himself two snaps later with an end-zone pass breakup on a fade route (Q4 00:10).
