The full breakdown

Phillips earned a solid 71.4 overall grade on the back of his stout run defense (76 grade), consistently anchoring against combo blocks and plugging the B-gap. After allowing cutback and seal lanes to Penei Sewell (Q2 14:51) and Tate Ratledge (Q2 14:11) early, he rebounded with high-impact plays in crucial downs. His performance was highlighted by an immediate pressure on Jared Goff on third down (Q2 01:54), a diving scramble tackle on third-and-3 (Q4 09:20), and an immovable double-team anchor on fourth-and-1 to force a turnover on downs (Q4 08:37).

Strengths

Point-of-attack anchoring vs double teams
Clutch short-yardage and third-down execution
Shedding interior contact to finish tackles

Weaknesses
