The full breakdown

Bartholomew earned a 65.7 grade largely due to high-leverage blocking execution across 21 special teams snaps. Early in the game (Q1 09:00), he secured a key seal on the left wing during an 86-yard punt return touchdown. He followed that up on kickoff return (Q1 06:44) by stepping up to seal his man inside for a 31-yard return. On offense, his primary contribution came late (Q4 01:39), where he ran a corner route that cleared out the flat defender to spring a 12-yard completion. With 22 neutral snaps and no negative deductions, his steady performance finished just above replacement level.
