Clark provided a stout interior anchor against the run, highlighted by clutch fourth-quarter goal-line stops, though limited pass-rush presence kept his overall grade in the solid tier.
Clark's 72.5 overall grade was driven by dominant interior run defense (78 grade across 34 snaps) where he repeatedly held the point of attack against double teams. His defining sequence came early in the fourth quarter on the goal line, denying push on 3rd & 2 (Q4 13:22) before anchoring firmly against John Simpson on 4th & 1 (Q4 13:07) to force a turnover on downs. He followed up with an elite two-gap shed and solo tackle on Derrick Henry at Q4 09:42. However, Clark provided minimal impact as a pass rusher (58 facet grade), highlighted by getting washed down on a Lamar Jackson scramble at Q4 03:57 and conceding ground on an earlier goal-line touchdown at Q1 01:22.
