The full breakdown
Neuzil's grade was propelled primarily by a 72 run-blocking mark across 45 running snaps, repeatedly sealing defensive tackles on zone runs such as his reach block on a 31-yard gain at Q3 09:21. He also showed great versatility by lining up at fullback to clear out a safety on a goal-line touchdown at Q3 03:41. However, his grade was weighed down by a catastrophic -2.0 holding penalty at Q3 00:55 where he was beaten quickly off the snap, alongside a few lapses allowing interior linemen to split double teams (Q1 11:52, Q3 07:13). Pass protection was largely quiet and stable across 27 snaps (63 grade), keeping his overall performance near baseline.
