Sieler earned a solid 73.9 overall grade driven primarily by an outstanding 80 run defense facet across 20 snaps. He consistently absorbed double teams, highlighted by stonewalling back-to-back short-yardage dives at Miami's 12-yard line to force a turnover on downs (Q2 06:58, Q2 06:15). His 67 pass rush grade took a hit on a holding penalty on 3rd & 9 (Q3 02:26), but he redeemed himself with tremendous hustle. That motor peaked on a 3rd & 14 checkdown when he chased Kenneth Walker 15 yards across the field for a 2-yard loss (Q4 12:17).
