G · Los Angeles Rams vs Denver Broncos · 94 graded snaps
Replacement
Avila delivered steady anchoring and zone displacement over 94 snaps, but three surrendered quarterback hits and a holding penalty kept his overall mark at a replacement-level 63.4.
Avila earned a 63.4 grade across a high-volume 94 snaps by pairing routine anchoring with a handful of severe pass-protection breakdowns and a drive-killing penalty. He performed well in the run game early, highlighted by washing Zach Allen laterally on an inside zone to create a 30-yard gain in Q1 (01:19). However, he repeatedly struggled when defensive linemen crossed his face inside, conceding an offensive holding penalty against Malcolm Roach in Q2 (13:43) and clean hits on Matthew Stafford by Roach in Q3 (13:14) and Allen in Q4 (14:56). These high-impact negative plays balanced out his otherwise consistent base-level blocks.
Strengths
Anchoring against power bull rushes
