The full breakdown
Gillotte's grade was anchored by an effective performance against the run, earning a 75 run defense facet grade across 16 snaps. He repeatedly established outside leverage at the point of attack, defeating blocks against Miami's tackles and tight ends to create stops at Q2 11:26 and Q2 03:55. He also demonstrated excellent backside hustle in the fourth quarter, disengaging from Austin Jackson to stop Ollie Gordon for no gain (Q4 07:17). However, 19 pass-rush snaps produced minimal true disruption—his lone positive being a scramble-pursuit tackle 11 yards downfield (Q4 08:02)—which limited his overall grade to 69.4.
