Offensive Line: B-

The offensive line played well again protecting Newton but needed more in the run game. With their opportunities limited and the score dictating a lot of the play calling, they never appeared to get into a good rhythm.

Center Ryan Kalil played after exiting last week with an injury, continuing to be a leading force for this unit. Offensive guard Greg Van Roten scooped up a Newton fumble in a saving grace, helping to avoid another turnover.

Newton was sacked just once as this group has proven capable of winning football games. Facing another tough test on the road next week, an early commitment to the run game and being able to gain some confidence early will play a critical role moving forward.

Overall, the offensive play was solid but some conservative play calling in the second half limited their chances..
