The full breakdown

Dallas played a complementary role primarily on special teams (26 snaps) and passing downs (8 pass protection snaps), finishing with a slightly above-replacement 64.4 grade. His best play came at Q1 09:00 on special teams, where he executed a textbook seal block to help spring an 86-yard punt return touchdown. In pass protection, he repeatedly proved stout against extra rushers, stepping into the A-gap to stonewall blitzing linebackers on 3rd & 8 (Q1 02:39) and 3rd & 5 (Q4 13:35). His lone negative grade occurred late at Q4 00:33, getting sealed inside on kickoff coverage and surrendering lane integrity on a 32-yard return.
