Drake Maye Week 4 QB Grade: Patriots vs. Panthers
After a frustrating loss where the Patriots seemed as if they didn't want to hold on to the ball, they hosted a Carolina Panthers team who were fresh off a 30-0 shutout against the Atlanta Falcons. And the Patriots, including Drake Maye, responded in a huge way. Beating the brakes off the Panthers 42-12. Maybe was nearly perfect, throwing just 3 incompletions and scoring negative plays just twice. He only took 22 gradable snaps on Sunday, as the Patriots defense, specials tea

OOTP 26 Pittsburgh Pirates Rebuild — 2026 Q3: A Contender Becomes a Juggernaut
We're 121 games into the 2026 season and I think it's finally safe to say it: The Pittsburgh Pirates are one of the best teams in the MLB. With 40 left to play the Pirates sit at 41 games over .500 with a 81-40 record, owning a 10.5 division lead over a very good Reds team. The 81 wins is the best record in baseball, lead by their continued fantastic pitching, which was one of the carry-overs from 2025. The thing that has pushed this team into the elite tier? The offense. An

Bo Nix Week 3 QB Grade: Broncos @ Chargers
It hasn't been a great start to the 2025 season for Nix, despite having one of the best pass blocking OL's in the league. While statistically he looked decent against the Colts last week, there is obviously more to playing QB than meets the stat sheet. His struggles continued into this week, however bolstered by a Chargers team that pressured hit at a 45.71% rate, over double his season average. So how did it all look? Let's dive in! Basics (Season Average in Italics) C/A: 23

Drake Maye Week 3 QB Grade: Patriots vs. Steelers
The Steelers traveled to Foxboro last Sunday, giving Maye the hardest test of his young 2025 season. And the numbers show, Maye had 3 TOW plays according to PFF (2 to me) as well as 5 Poor plays, resulting in a 13.5% poor play rate on the afternoon. The Patriots as a whole had issues with ball security turning the ball over 5 times total, 2 of which directly from Maye. He continues to complete the ball at a high level, charting a 75.7% completion rate this week, but how did e

Jordan Love Week 3 QB Grade: Packers @ Browns
In many ways this game paralleled the Packers week 1 victory against the Lions, but in reverse. The Browns this time were the ones controlling the line of scrimmage, and while the pressure rate was a bit low, mainly due to the Packers focusing on quick throws, they did get to Love plenty, sacking him 5 times in a game where Love only attempted 1 throw beyond 10 yards. And his grades reflect that, as he scored just 1 positive play over "Above Average" on the afternoon. He also

Caleb Williams Week 2 QB Grade: Bears @ Lions
Well, the Chicago Bears got absolutely punched in the mouth by the Detroit Lions on Sunday. A Lions offense that didn’t score a single offensive touchdown until the very last play of Week 1 came out firing, scoring early and often in a 52–21 gut punch during Ben Johnson’s return to Detroit. To make matters worse, it looks like we may have lost our best defensive player for the season, losing Jaylon Johnson to a groin injury. Now that we got the heavy stuff out of the way… wha

Drake Maye Week 2 QB Grade: Patriots @ Dolphins
Outside of Caleb Williams (for obvious reasons) Drake Maye maybe my favorite QB to grade and review, and not because he's a rollercoaster like Love is a lot of times, but just because of how well he can play the QB position when he is on his game. Yesterday was one of those days as he lead the Patriots to their first win under the Vrabel era, a 33-27 road win in Miami. Let's take a look at the breakdown. Basics (Season Average in Italics) C/A: 30/46 (65.2%) | 19/23 (82.6%) Y
