The full breakdown

Sweat earned a replacement-level 63.8 grade heavily driven by his run defense (66 on 21 snaps), while his pass rush remained completely neutral (60 across 16 snaps). His primary value came from eating combination blocks, notably standing up Juice Scruggs on a crucial 4th & 1 stop at Q4 8:37 and pushing the pocket to blow up runs at Q2 10:48 and Q4 3:15. His grade was suppressed by two instances where double teams turned or nudged him off the line to surrender interior gains at Q2 3:33 and Q3 1:14. Ultimately, with 34 of his 42 snaps graded neutral, his solid anchor work was balanced out by an absence of pass-rush splash.
