C · Miami Dolphins vs Kansas City Chiefs · 74 graded snaps
Replacement
Brewer turned in an average outing, showing strong execution on draw and sneak concepts but struggling with second-level reach blocks and late blitz pickups.
Brewer earned a replacement-level 65.4 grade over 74 snaps, defined by steady baseline work against Chris Jones offset by sporadic breakdowns against nose tackle Khyiris Tonga. His highest marks came in defined interior assignments, sealing the lane on an 11-yard draw at Q1 04:13 (+1.0) and generating strong leverage on a fourth-quarter QB sneak conversion (+1.0). However, he was inconsistent in inside zone blocking, failing to seal Tonga at Q2 03:55 and Q3 03:51 (-0.5 each) while missing his climb to Drue Tranquill at Q2 04:46 (-0.5). Pass protection was largely clean over 47 snaps (64.0 facet grade), though a missed blitz recognition on fourth down at Q4 06:00 led directly to interior penetration.
