Report card

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..
