Brown's strong 82.0 grade was fueled by a stellar run-blocking performance (84 grade), consistently sealing the edge on reach blocks such as his hook on Cameron Heyward at Q3 14:17. In pass protection (79 grade), he logged 43 snaps and repeatedly washed T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith past the pocket arc, headlined by stonewalling Watt on a fourth-down touchdown strike (Q4 13:33). His mark was only dented by two surrendered hits when beaten around the edge (Q1 10:21) and inside counter (Q3 13:11).
