The full breakdown

Bullard earned a 66.5 overall grade primarily on the strength of his run defense (69 grade across 24 snaps). He surged in the fourth quarter, violently shedding a block for a TFL at Q4 13:39 (+1.5) and shedding a tight end for another shared TFL at Q4 12:31 (+1.0). He also showed great route anticipation to force a third-down stop at Q2 11:12 (+1.0) in coverage. However, his grade was kept in check by plays where pulling linemen pushed him out of his run fits at Q2 12:43 (-0.5) and Q2 09:05 (-0.5).
