The full breakdown

Parkinson earned a 62.0 replacement grade primarily due to inconsistent run blocking (60) balanced by sound edge pass protection (66). He started effectively, sealing defenders on play-action bootlegs (Q1 05:00) and anchoring the blindside in pass pro against Jonah Elliss (Q2 07:41). However, his blocking deteriorated in the second half when he surrendered inside leverage to Elliss for a stop (Q3 06:28) and missed safety Brandon Jones downhill on a lead block for a 2-yard loss (Q4 12:58). With zero non-neutral snaps in the passing game across 13 receiving reps, his grade was entirely dictated by these fluctuating blocking results.
