Rivals has continued its partnership with Pro Football Focus (PFF) which grants me access to their comprehensive analytics and statistical tools.
After each game, two separate analysts grade every player on each play of the game and the two totals are averaged out. Obviously no subjective ranking system is perfect, but I am finding that my real world impressions of a player in a certain game usually reflects the PFF grade.
PFF Grading Scale
90 and above - Elite
80 to 89 - Great
70 to 79 - Good
60 to 69 - Average to Above Average
50 - 59 - Below Average
49 and below - Poor

I'm not surprised ROK and the OL graded out well, but Isaiah Bowser seems too low. Looking at the specifics, PFF dinged Bowser for giving up a sack, which decimated his pass blocking grade and dragged down his overall grade.
Offensive Line Grades
Pass Blocking:
LG Cole Schneider - 90.1
RG Lokahi Pauole - 83.4
RT Samuel Jackson - 81.5

Quarterback Grades
Note - PFF seems to be "missing" several of MK's completed throws, including the 54-yard TD pass to ROK. So these numbers are out of whack.
