The full breakdown
Ossai's sub-replacement grade was largely driven by costly lapses in run defense (52 facet grade) during the second half. Though he started with a few solid edge sets—such as stoning an outside zone reach block at Q2 10:48 to force a tackle for loss—his containment collapsed after halftime. He was repeatedly hooked by tight end Sam LaPorta, directly giving up a 17-yard touchdown run to Jahmyr Gibbs (Q3 11:06) and another perimeter breach at Q3 02:53. With a neutral pass rush presence that was pushed past the pocket by Penei Sewell (Q3 02:29), his negative edge-setting plays defined his day.
