G · New York Jets vs Detroit Lions · 40 graded snaps
Detrimental
Parham had solid moments in the run game, but severe pass-protection lapses against Alim McNeill—including a drive-stalling holding penalty and a sack surrender—dragged his day down.
Parham's 57.0 grade was driven into detrimental territory by severe pass protection breakdowns (55 pass_block grade) against Detroit's interior front. While he operated decently in the run game (62 run_block grade) with effective zone reach blocks like the one at Q3 08:50, his struggles against Alim McNeill proved costly. At Q2 00:41, McNeill beat him inside with a swim move, forcing Parham to commit a blatant holding penalty that wiped out an 11-yard first down. Later at Q3 06:51, McNeill overpowered him with a heavy bull rush to blow up the pocket, resulting in a nine-yard third-down sack and an injury.
