The full breakdown

Biggers' 71.6 grade was largely driven by a strong showing in run defense (76 facet grade), where he consistently occupied blocks and freed his linebackers. After surrendering early displacement on an inside zone in Q1 (01:54), he rebounded on the very next snap (Q1 01:20) by anchoring through a double-team to assist on a stop. He repeatedly impacted crucial situations, generating penetration on 4th & 1 in Q2 (06:15) to force a turnover on downs. While his pass rush volume was limited (66 grade), he showed peak disruption on Q3 08:21 with a heavy bull rush through Trey Smith that flushed the quarterback and drew a holding penalty.
