The full breakdown

Davis earned a 65.9 overall mark largely off his run defense (68.0 facet grade across 15 snaps), alongside neutral showings in pass rushing and special teams. His top flashes came on an exceptional sideline pursuit tackle against RJ Harvey (Q2 04:38) and an authoritative split-block stop at the line of scrimmage (Q4 07:56). However, he surrendered positive rushing lanes when pushed laterally by Quinn Meinerz on zone runs in Q3 (12:52) and Q4 (08:34). He rebounded late, firmly anchoring against a double team to bottle up an interior rush at Q4 02:00.
