Gwyn received a 57.4 game grade largely due to major mental errors and difficulties displacing defensive tackles at the line of scrimmage. His grade was severely impaired in the second quarter by two separate ineligible man downfield penalties on forward passes (Q2 12:50 and Q2 08:47), which combined for -3.5 grade points. In the run game, he had mixed results; while he generated solid push on an 11-yard run (Q1 02:42) and anchored well on a goal-line score (Q1 01:22), he consistently struggled to generate vertical movement in heavy sets. Most critically, he failed to seal Otito Ogbonnia on a 4th-and-1 turnover on downs (Q1 06:12) and was stood up at the goal line early in the fourth quarter (Q4 13:22).
