I am not surprised by his PFF rating in the least. If you paid attention he was personally responsible for killing at least 3 drives by screwing up on 3rd down. They were subtle but he allowed his man to sit untouched in the throwing lane and bat a ball down. Another same situation where the first and possibly only lane was blocked while he sat there and did nothing. Then he gave up a bull rush (sack maybe) where his guy crushed the play via pressure.
The first two it looked like the D lineman assignment was to push him back and then camp the lane, the D guy did this with ease and then he let off the rush and Stephenson sat there like a moron for at least two seconds instead of shoving him back or driving him out of the lane.
He was the drive killer, but you really had to pay attention to notice.
