The full breakdown
Wallace posted a net-negative 58 coverage grade across 56 coverage snaps due to erratic boundary play. His grade bottomed out on two -2.0 infractions in the fourth quarter: conceding a 27-yard catch plus DPI to Courtland Sutton (Q4 14:00) and committing red-zone pass interference that erased a potential turnover (Q4 01:15). However, he mitigated the damage with high-end ball skills, highlighted by undercutting an out route for a 26-yard interception return (Q4 13:07) and breaking up a 3rd-down pass (Q4 07:13). He also contributed positively in run defense (68) and on special teams (63), but the coverage volatility dominated his evaluation.
