T · New York Jets vs Detroit Lions · 69 graded snaps
Solid
Membou delivered a solid outing anchored by stellar pass protection against Aidan Hutchinson, keeping the pocket clean all afternoon despite a late blitz breakdown.
Membou's 74.6 overall grade was spearheaded by an impressive 78 mark across 49 pass-blocking snaps, where he routinely stymied Aidan Hutchinson and D.J. Wonnum. He secured clean pockets on major explosive plays, highlighted by a dominant one-on-one mirror and anchor against Hutchinson (Q2 07:00) and walling off Wonnum on a 24-yard touchdown pass (Q2 05:40). His run blocking graded closer to average at 64, highlighted by functional zone seals before surrendering inside leverage on a short gain in the fourth quarter (Q4 05:21). His only pass protection downgrade came late on an overload blitz (Q4 00:51), pinching inside against Hutchinson while Chuck Clark ran free for a strip-sack.
