The full breakdown
McDuffie played mostly routine football across 41 total snaps, logging 23 reps on special teams and only 18 on defense. His grade was propelled by a strong run-defense showing in the fourth quarter, where he triggered downhill to log back-to-back backfield stops at Q4 13:39 (+1.0) and Q4 12:31 (+1.5). He also contributed on kickoff coverage with a block shed and tackle assist at Q1 05:13 (+1.0). His lone negative play occurred near the goal line at Q4 03:35 (-0.5), where he was washed down by the right tackle on a two-yard touchdown run.
