Replacement
Ratledge was dominant in the run game, paving the way for multiple scores, but his grade was held down by critical pass protection breakdowns that allowed a sack and hit.
Ratledge excelled as a run blocker (76 facet grade), consistently opening seams for Jahmyr Gibbs on zone concepts and executing a textbook pull block on an alley-clearing 17-yard touchdown (Q3 11:06). However, his pass protection (61 facet grade) was volatile and gave up costly negative plays. He surrendered a nine-yard sack to Demario Davis on play-action when he failed to identify a backside blitzer (Q1 01:06) and was beaten inside by Harrison Phillips for a third-down quarterback hit (Q2 01:54). While he rebounded with solid anchoring late in the second half, those high-impact pass-pro lapses held his overall grade down to 68.6.
