The full breakdown

Uwazurike's 63.4 grade was defined by mostly quiet execution across 41 snaps, punctuated by a splash play late in the game. His run defense (59) was mixed, as he maintained backside lane integrity at Q3 13:57 (+0.2) but was hooked and sealed by McClendon at Q3 07:41 (-0.5) to yield a nine-yard gain. He salvaged his overall mark on pass rush (67) at Q4 04:43 (+2.0), reading a bootleg cleanly without biting on the run fake to drop Matthew Stafford for a sack.
