The full breakdown

Gesicki finished with a 63.8 overall grade on 30 snaps, largely bolstered by a 67 receiving grade across 24 routes. His standout play came in Q4 (13:33, 4th & 2), where he beat Everette on a seam route to split deep coverage for a 25-yard touchdown. Earlier in Q2 (12:13), he secured a quick out route through immediate contact for a 6-yard gain. However, his run blocking was a clear liability (54 grade), dragged down in Q1 (00:46) when he failed to seal Ramsey on an inside zone play that was blown up for no gain.
