The full breakdown

Johnson's grade was anchored by a stark contrast between his run defense (81.0) and coverage (57.0). He excelled when triggering downhill, shedding a block at Q2 13:49 to drop Kenneth Walker III for a loss and drawing a holding call against a screen at Q2 00:48. However, coverage inconsistencies undermined his day. He allowed a 17-yard completion to Xavier Worthy by playing with too much cushion at Q2 08:43, and later was stacked and beaten deep along the sideline by Rashee Rice for a 34-yard gain at Q4 05:16.
