G · Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Rams · 72 graded snaps
Replacement
Powers held up well in pass protection with a sturdy anchor, but interior quickness consistently beat him on reach blocks to drag down his run-blocking mark.
Powers earned a replacement-level 61.8 overall grade, driven by a dependable 66 pass-blocking mark contrasted with a 56 run-blocking grade. In pass protection, he consistently anchored against interior bull rushes, but his struggles surfaced in the run game when asked to reach or secure quick interior linemen. He surrendered immediate penetration across his face against Braden Fiske at Q2 03:47 and Kobie Turner at Q4 14:39. Turner also broke through Powers' pass protection at Q4 13:07 to force pocket collapse on an interception, solidifying his net-neutral performance.
