The full breakdown

Forbes earned a detrimental 54.1 grade due to high-leverage errors in coverage (54) and on special teams (52). In Q1 (02:18), he was stacked downfield by Troy Franklin and conceded a 15-yard defensive pass interference penalty, followed by an egregious missed tackle on 2nd & 20 in Q4 (03:26) that allowed a 39-yard explosive play. Furthermore, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on punt coverage in Q3 (05:33) wiped out a muffed punt opportunity. Though he showed quality reps sticking to Jaylen Waddle vertically and holding firm on run defense, the catastrophic downs heavily undermined his performance.
