DE · Dallas Cowboys vs Baltimore Ravens · 48 graded snaps
Solid
Ogbonnia was a stout anchor against Baltimore's run game, consistently penetrating interior gaps and producing key short-yardage stops against Derrick Henry.
Ogbonnia's 77.7 grade was spearheaded by an 81 run defense mark across 34 rushing snaps. He established control early by knifing through the B-gap for a zero-yard tackle on Henry (Q1 14:21) and anchoring firm on 4th & 1 to force a turnover on downs (Q1 06:12). In the fourth quarter, he proved instrumental in a goal-line stand, stopping Henry on 3rd & 2 (Q4 13:22) before penetrating the B-gap to derail a 4th & 1 try (Q4 13:07). While he was washed down on two goal-line touchdown runs, his shed ability against combo blocks consistently disrupted the Ravens' inside rushing attack.
