Humphrey flashed tight coverage and a pass breakup against Dallas, but big conversions allowed—including a 49-yard reception by CeeDee Lamb—dragged his mark down to replacement level.
Humphrey's 61.3 grade reflected a volatile outing in coverage where flashes of sticky coverage were negated by critical breakdowns. He showed sharp reactive instincts in the third quarter, breaking up a pass to Lamb (Q3 08:55) and stopping him short on 3rd & 11 (Q3 13:54). However, he surrendered significant yardage on critical downs, conceding a 4th & 4 conversion to Lamb (Q3 13:15) and playing too soft on a 3rd & 8 conversion to Pickens (Q4 10:27). His lowest moment came on a 49-yard vertical completion surrendered to Lamb along the sideline at Q4 12:25.
