The full breakdown

Dorlus earned a solid 70.2 grade largely through explosive interior pass-rushing against Green Bay's right guard. After opening the game with an early pressure (Q1 13:27) and a sound run stop (Q3 11:20), he caught fire late in the fourth quarter. He forced a quick throw well short of the sticks with a swim move on 3rd & 10 (Q4 10:08) and forced a throwaway with quick A-gap penetration (Q4 02:15). His standout moment came at Q4 01:18, pushing into the pocket to tip a pass that was intercepted, heavily outweighing an earlier stall on a bull rush (Q4 10:44).
