Following the Jacksonville Jaguars' Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos, let's take a look at which players received the highest grades from Pro Football Focus and which players didn't.
Below is a look at PFF's grading system for some context. While this metric is very helpful when it comes to quantifying a player's performance, PFF's grading system isn't the be-all and end-all either. It is one metric out of many that are out there.
Here are the Jaguars' five highest-graded players on offense and defense, along with the three lowest-graded players overall.
Washington had a huge day, totaling six receptions for 145 yards with a touchdown. Lawrence continues to play at a high level. Beyond the production, he was efficient, took care of the football, and operated well, both off script when needed and in the rhythm of the play.
Van Lanen recorded a run-blocking grade of 78.6, while Anton Harrison allowed just three quarterback pressures. Neither player allowed a sack against a very good Denver defensive front.
Patrick had one reception for 11 yards and blocked well.
Two cornerbacks and three defensive ends were the Jaguars' highest graded defenders. Brown and Jones combined to allow just three receptions on nine targets for a total of three yards. Brown had two pass breakups and Jones had an interception.
Walker had five quarterback pressures, Green a sack, and Ogbah a fumble recovery. All three had positive run defense grades as well.
In 16 snaps, Johnson did not record any stats other than a missed tackle attempt. Oluokun's coverage grade brought down his overall grade. He allowed seven receptions on 10 targets for 100 yards. Little stepped in at right guard -- a new position for him -- and gave up three pressures while not grading out well in the run game.
