The full breakdown

Hendrickson's pass rushing (68 grade) provided consistent flashes, headlined by quick pressure off the edge against Tyler Guyton to hit Dak Prescott (Q4 11:52, Q4 01:14) and excellent backside discipline to blow up a bootleg (Q3 03:06). However, his run defense plummeted to a 51 grade across just 12 snaps due to repeatedly losing contain. He was repeatedly hooked by tight ends Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford, and Luke Schoonmaker on outside zone runs (Q2 02:00, Q3 08:50, Q3 03:39), yielding substantial gains. Occasional rush lane lapses also allowed Prescott to scramble for first downs, keeping his overall performance near replacement level.
