The full breakdown

Sadiq's grade was propelled by a dynamic 78 receiving mark, headlined by two elite +2.0 receptions. He beat coverage for a 24-yard over-the-shoulder touchdown (Q2 05:40) and later hauled in a 43-yard deep fade down to the 13-yard line (Q4 13:59). His late-game crossing and out routes (Q4 02:19 and Q4 01:54) kept the offense moving efficiently. However, his day was dragged down by a 57 run-blocking facet grade, notably when he was quickly shed by Derrick Barnes for a 2-yard loss (Q4 13:08).
