The full breakdown

Thomas spent most of his day as a pass rusher where his performance was split between sharp interior wins and stalled outside rushes. When working back inside, he was dominant, executing a quick spin for a sack at Q3 01:50 and forcing incompletions with quick penetrations at Q3 01:06 and Q4 02:00. However, multiple snaps saw him driven cleanly past the depth of the quarterback, including drives at Q1 09:18 and Q4 10:44. In limited run defense action, he gave up gap integrity on a slant at Q2 04:38 before bouncing back with a stout edge shed at Q3 14:57.
