Grades from the game

I am really surprised Cleveland is not in the top five, seemed like he was always throwing a crucial block.

Not surprised the bottom 3 on D were all corners.

#Vikings top-5 grades on defense vs. PIT (min. 15 snaps):

1. Michael Pierce 89.6
2. Harrison Smith 79.8
3. Anthony Barr 79.1
4. Armon Watts 75.1
5. Xavier Woods 70.3

Bottom 5:

DJ Wonnum 59.0
Dalvin Tomlinson 55.8
Patrick Peterson 54.7
Bashaud Breeland 49.9
Mack Alexander 45.9

Outside of one hold, I can't remember one time Udoh was beat all night, thought he played as solid as you could at LT.  Cleveland also dominated.  I though Bradbury by far had the worst game of the OL.  It seems like they just throw out random numbers half the time. 

Wonnum lead the team in pass defenses.  I thought he played a solid game.

If you want to question pff's accuracy, you can start with this from the write up of the game:

Oli Udoh, Ezra Cleveland, and Mason Cole – Minnesota’s interior linemen – combined to allow eight pressures and three hits on Cousins. Udoh and Cleveland “lost” a combined five pass-rush snaps.

Pretty stupid mistake right there.

I’ll give them an “A” for the simple fact that it prevented(delayed) the Packers from clinching the division…!!!  B)
