PFF grades: Colts best and worst performers in Week 8 loss to Jaguars
These Colts' players received the best and worst PFF grades following the team's blowout loss to Jacksonville in Week 8.
In the Indianapolis Colts' Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades highlighted the best and worst performers for both offense and defense. While PFF's grading system is just one of many evaluation tools, it provides valuable insight into individual player performances.
On offense, the top three performers for the Colts were running back DJ Giddens, wide receiver Keenan Allen, and tight end Drew Ogletree. Giddens had a solid game with 43 yards on six carries and two rushes of 10-plus yards. Allen led the team in receiving with seven receptions for 67 yards, while Ogletree had a key contribution with his hands.
On defense, the five highest-graded players for the Colts were defensive end Laiatu Latu, defensive end Jaylahn Tuimoloau, cornerback Sauce Gardner, defensive tackle Grover Stewart, and cornerback Kenneth Harris. Both Latu and Tuimoloau racked up a sack each, while Gardner allowed only one reception on three targets and broke up a pass. Latu and Tuimoloau led the Colts in pressures with four combined.
On the other hand, the three lowest-graded players overall for the Colts were cornerback Cam Bynum, linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither, and guard Jalen Farmer. Bynum and Davis-Gaither combined for five missed tackles, while Farmer surrendered three pressures and had a run-blocking grade of 41.8. These performances stood out as the weakest aspects of the Colts' Week 8 effort against the Jaguars.
