The full breakdown
Cisse earned a 60.6 grade largely because solid run defense (69 grade) was neutralized by severe downfield coverage mistakes (56 grade). He showed great burst as a defender near the line, timing a slot blitz for no gain in Q2 (11:53) and shedding a block to make an open-field stop at Q2 (14:05). However, his coverage consistency faltered in the second half, highlighted by an illegal contact penalty at Q3 (8:42) and getting beaten cleanly down the sideline by London for a 68-yard gain at Q4 (14:17).
