The full breakdown

Meredith earned a 62.6 overall grade on the back of mostly routine work (22 neutral snaps) and an even balance of positive and negative plays in the fourth quarter. His pass blocking grade (62) was weighed down by allowing pocket penetration, first getting pushed back on a sack at Q4 12:32 and then failing to close an A-gap lane for a QB hit at Q4 07:58. He bounced back late in pass protection, stonewalling interior charges on completions at Q4 02:19 and Q4 01:45. On limited run snaps (63 grade), he showed quality leverage at Q4 06:06 by sealing the interior defensive tackle inside to spring a seven-yard gain.
