Colts highest and lowest PFF grades from Week 13 loss vs. Texans

Let's take a look back at the Indianapolis Colts' Week 13 performance against the Houston Texans with Pro Football Focus' highest and lowest graded players from this game.

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.

• 90.0+: Elite

• 80-89.9: High quality

• 70-79.9: Good

• 60-69.9: Above average

• 50-59.9: Average

• 40-49.9: Below average

• 39.9 or less: Poor

Now, here are the Colts' five highest graded players on offense and defense from Week 13, along with which three players overall received the lowest grades.

Colts' 5 highest-graded players on offense vs. Texans

• QB Daniel Jones: 84.2

• WR Alec Pierce: 83.7

• LG Quenton Nelson: 78.0

• WR Josh Downs: 72.2

• RG Matt Goncalves: 71.2

Jones was 14-of-27 passing for 201 yards with two touchdowns. He averaged 7.4 yards per pass attempt. With Houston playing with heavier boxes, Jones pushed the ball downfield, which contributed to his lower completion percentage.

Pierce was excellent, catching 4-of-5 passes for 78 yards with a score. Downs had two catches for 44 yards, including a big 34-yard grab to extend a drive.

Nelson didn't allow any quarterback pressures and graded out well in the run game. Goncalves gave up four pressures, but received a strong run-blocking grade of 71.0.

Colts' 5 highest-graded players on defense vs. Texans

• DT Chris Wormley: 75.4

• DE Kwity Paye: 72.0

• LB Germaine Pratt: 69.7

• S Cam Bynum: 68.8

• CB Kenny Moore: 65.7

Wormley had two pressures and a sack in his Colts' debut. Paye had a quiet day as a pass rusher, but graded out well against the run.

Pratt had nine total tackles, allowed just one reception in coverage for 15 yards, and had a pass breakup. Bynum had an interception, a tackle for loss, and gave up just one catch on the day.

Moore allowed two receptions on three targets for 26 yards. CJ Stroud had a passer rating of 93.8 when targeting Moore.

Colts' 3 lowest-graded players vs. Texans

• DT Adetomiwa Adebawore: 40.0

• TE Tyler Warren: 42.4

• DE Tyquan Lewis: 45.7

Adebawore had three pressures and a sack, but his run defense grade brought his overall grade down. Warren caught all three of his passes for 22 yards and a touchdown, but the fourth-down fumble lowered his grade significantly.

Lewis played 21 snaps, logging one pressure and no tackles against the run.
