The full breakdown

Bell excelled as a receiver (70 facet grade), converting multiple critical third downs and generating an explosive 44-yard gain on a deep crossing route (Q2 6:10). However, his run blocking was highly erratic (60 facet grade) across 17 snaps. While he showed strong moments springing teammates early, he gave up two costly perimeter block losses to Mansoor Delane in the second quarter (Q2 10:45 and Q2 1:08) that resulted in a blown-up screen and a five-yard loss.
