Storylines

Greg Van Roten grades out as NE's best

Greg Van Roten (G) is at 76 out of 100 through week 6 of 2026. That score compares him with everyone else at his position — an 84 would mean better than 84% of them — and it comes from charted play, not raw totals.

Where They Stand

Overall: Grade 61, 8th of 32 — in the top third.

Weaknesses: offensive line (30th).

Coaching: Mike Vrabel beats what his rosters' grades say he should by 1.9 points a game, over 122 games, 8th in the league.

Offense — better on the field: On the field, the offense has played better than 86% of the league, ahead of a player grade of 58 out of 100.

This season: 4-2. Last time out, they beat New York Jets 26-19.

Since preseason: Barely moved since the preseason.

Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.
