OFFENSE
Souhan's grade: A
Sam Bradford was accurate as usual, Rashod Hill played well at tackle, Jerick McKinnon and Kyle Rudolph had big games
DEFENSE
Souhan's grade: B
Did what it should at home against erratic QB Matt Barkley but failure to stop the run an ongoing concern..
SPECIAL TEAMS
Souhan's grade: B
Solid if unspectacular. Kai Forbath proved himself a worthwhile acquisition this season.
COACHING
Souhan's grade: B
A week after a critical implosion Mike Zimmer settled the team down enough to beat the awful Bears..
