The full breakdown
Mafe's 56.5 overall grade was weighed down by struggles in both run defense (56) and pass rush (58). In the run game, he routinely lost leverage to tackle Max Iheanachor, failing to set the edge on a 13-yard Warren run (Q1 04:12) and getting widened out on a 26-yard gain (Q4 05:23). His pass rush was hindered by a severe loss where he was pancaked by Troy Fautanu (Q2 02:23) and an early slip at the top of his rush (Q1 14:55). He salvaged some value through relentless hustle, sprinting 50 yards across the field for a touchdown-saving tackle (Q2 10:16) and forcing an intentional throwaway via disciplined bootleg contain (Q4 03:52).
