The full breakdown
Revel's coverage grade dipped to 58 primarily due to an explosive play late in the third quarter (Q3 00:21), where he surrendered outside leverage and failed to contest Bateman on a 31-yard gain. Earlier in coverage, he held up well by denying a deep 3rd-down pass to Mark Andrews (Q1 13:43), though he yielded an easy conversion to Zay Flowers by playing off-coverage on 2nd & 3 (Q2 13:24). In run defense (64 grade), Revel exhibited solid burst to blow up a screen to Justice Hill for no gain (Q2 12:50) and made a touchdown-saving hustle tackle on Derrick Henry (Q3 05:54). However, back-to-back snaps later in the third quarter saw him fail to shed perimeter blocks against Bateman and Cuevas, resulting in first-down runs by Hill and Lamar Jackson.
