The full breakdown

Ford's detrimental 53.5 grade was heavily driven by a tough outing in run defense (51 grade across 19 snaps), where he repeatedly surrendered lateral positioning and gap control. He consistently got reached on zone concepts, including giving up his gap on Bijan Robinson's 31-yard gain (Q3 09:21). Double teams also routinely displaced him backward off the line of scrimmage, notably inside the red zone at Q2 01:51 and Q3 04:15. Though he delivered an impressive play anchoring and shedding the center for a tackle at Q3 05:00 (+1.0), the volume of negative run snaps kept his overall mark well below replacement level.
