The full breakdown
Simmons earned an 83.7 grade by maximizing his limited workload, driven by an elite run defense mark (82) across six snaps. In the first quarter, he immediately set the tone by splitting a double team to record a tackle for loss (Q1 12:14) and followed up with a rip move to draw a holding penalty on third down (Q1 11:33). He continued to anchor stoutly against interior double teams before finishing his day with a violent block shed to stop an inside run for a one-yard gain (Q4 01:28). With no negative snaps on his ledger, his per-snap efficiency and disruptive power drove his strong overall mark.
