The full breakdown

Gilman was exceptionally active and reliable when triggering forward, generating a 79 run defense mark across 11 snaps with sharp open-field tackling and alley fills, highlighted by a third-down stop at Q2 10:08 and an interior tackle at Q3 14:53. However, his coverage grade lagged at 61 across 63 snaps due to a major coverage bust at Q3 14:15, where he was drawn out of his deep post by bootleg action to allow a 42-yard catch by Greg Dulcich. He redeemed himself later in the third quarter by ranging over the top to contest targets at Q3 13:27 and Q3 03:23. Ultimately, 67 neutral snaps combined with that solitary deep coverage breakdown kept his day in the replacement tier.
