The full breakdown

Bredeson's replacement-level 65.7 grade stemmed from an inconsistent run-blocking performance (64) balanced by solid pass protection (68). He excelled when operating downhill and in pass pro, delivering key blocks against edge rushers and blitzers in the second half (Q3 04:01, Q4 04:05) and springing a 20-yard gain at Q3 09:03. However, his grade was dragged down by repeated struggles on toss plays, highlighted by getting beaten inside by a safety for a two-yard loss at Q2 09:56 and failing to sustain contact against scraping defenders (Q1 01:35, Q4 03:09).
