Now sitting at 1-1 after Sunday\u2019s 33-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins, they have started trending up after what was a disappointing season opener.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it it far too early to tell what kind of team the Patriots are developing into and whether or not they will be able to push for a playoff spot when all is said and done. What we do know, is that there are several promising areas to build on and a lot of weaknesses and issues still left to be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Add all of that up, and you get a team that is a middle-of-the pack squad across the board and accordingly ranked 18th in net points (-1) on the season.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The graphic above illustrates where the Patriots lie relative to the other 31 teams in the NFL. Offensively, they are looking quite solid so far and seemingly taking a step forward after their underwhelming 2024 campaign. The defense, on the other hand, has had its problems during the early parts of the season.<\/p>\n<p>A closer look at both areas, plus a split into the run and pass games, illustrates this.<\/p>\n<p><em>For a more detailed explanation of the numbers presented in this breakdown, please click here.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Overall efficiency<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Category<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Number<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Rank<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Points\/Game<\/td>\n<td>23.0<\/td>\n<td>14th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards\/Game<\/td>\n<td>334.5<\/td>\n<td>13th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EPA\/Play<\/td>\n<td>0.096<\/td>\n<td>12th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>DVOA<\/td>\n<td>2.2%<\/td>\n<td>16th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Success rate<\/td>\n<td>44.1%<\/td>\n<td>17th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Scoring %<\/td>\n<td>40.0%<\/td>\n<td>15th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Giveaways<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>7th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Turnover %<\/td>\n<td>5.0%<\/td>\n<td>19th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>With two games in the books, the Patriots are one of the NFL\u2019s most average offenses. Whether it is points, yards or the various efficiency metrics, the unit of coordinator Josh McDaniels is not far removed from the middle of the league in any category.<\/p>\n<p>The only one that truly stands out is the number of giveaways, which has New England tied for seventh in the league. However, there is a caveat: based on turnover percentage \u2014 i.e. the rate of drives ending in turnovers \u2014 the team is only ranked 19th. Then again, the sample size is not necessarily an accurate predictor of future success or failure in any of those categories.<\/p>\n<p>Still, as noted above, some early trends can be seen. And one of them is the passing offense looking fairly decent.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Passing offense<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Category<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Number<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Rank<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards\/Game<\/td>\n<td>243.5<\/td>\n<td>9th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Net yards\/Attempt<\/td>\n<td>6.4<\/td>\n<td>11th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dropback EPA<\/td>\n<td>0.252<\/td>\n<td>8th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pass DVOA<\/td>\n<td>34.7%<\/td>\n<td>8th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Success rate<\/td>\n<td>48.8%<\/td>\n<td>9th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>YAC\/Reception<\/td>\n<td>4.8<\/td>\n<td>16th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adjusted sack rate<\/td>\n<td>9.4%<\/td>\n<td>22nd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pass block win rate<\/td>\n<td>55.0%<\/td>\n<td>25th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As can be seen, the team\u2019s passing attack is in the top third int the NFL in both volume and efficiency. It goes without saying that Drake Maye\u2019s career performance against the Dolphins in Week 2 \u2014 when he set several new career marks while completing 83 percent of his passes for 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns \u2014 plays a big part in that. The goal will be to build on that performance, while simultaneously also improving in the pass protection department.<\/p>\n<p>If the Patriots can do that, they seemingly have the foundation in place to take another step forward. Look no further than the numbers posted by their starting QB.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Drake Maye stats<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Category<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Number<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Rank<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Attempts<\/td>\n<td>69<\/td>\n<td>12th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Completions<\/td>\n<td>49<\/td>\n<td>6th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Completion %<\/td>\n<td>71.0%<\/td>\n<td>6th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards<\/td>\n<td>517<\/td>\n<td>9th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards\/Attempt<\/td>\n<td>7.5<\/td>\n<td>12th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TDs<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>10th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>INTs<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>12th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sacks<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>23rd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EPA\/Play<\/td>\n<td>0.241<\/td>\n<td>8th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CPOE<\/td>\n<td>6.3<\/td>\n<td>8th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Whether you look at volume or efficiency stats, Drake Maye is a top third quarterback in the NFL through two games. Despite his pass protection not always being up to the task, as already outlined above, he has repeatedly managed to put the Patriots in a competitive position and played the best single game of his career against Miami in Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it might be time to be a bit of a Debbie Downer here: neither the Dolphins nor the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 are fielding top-tier pass defenses. Time will therefore tell how much of Maye\u2019s hot start was aided by the opposition.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Rushing offense<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Category<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Number<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Rank<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards\/Game<\/td>\n<td>91<\/td>\n<td>23rd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards\/Attempt<\/td>\n<td>3.9<\/td>\n<td>22nd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rush EPA<\/td>\n<td>-0.232<\/td>\n<td>29th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Run DVOA<\/td>\n<td>-6.3%<\/td>\n<td>16th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Success rate<\/td>\n<td>34.1%<\/td>\n<td>27th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>YCO\/Run<\/td>\n<td>2.62<\/td>\n<td>19th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Run block win rate<\/td>\n<td>73.0%<\/td>\n<td>11th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adjusted line yards<\/td>\n<td>4.64<\/td>\n<td>5th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Run stuff rate<\/td>\n<td>13.0%<\/td>\n<td>4th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Patriots want to be balanced on offense, and they did accomplish that goal in Week 2 against Miami.

Not among those: the ones evaluating blocking.

New England has been comparatively OK at keeping opponents off the board, but the overall performance has left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there is one area that truly stands out above the rest: New England\u2019s run defense has quietly been one of the best in football.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Run defense<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h3>Category<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Number<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<th>\n<h3>Rank<\/h3>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards\/Game<\/td>\n<td>58.5<\/td>\n<td>3rd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yards\/Attempt<\/td>\n<td>3.0<\/td>\n<td>3rd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rush EPA<\/td>\n<td>-0.245<\/td>\n<td>4th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Run DVOA<\/td>\n<td>-27.4%<\/td>\n<td>5th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Success rate<\/td>\n<td>26.3%<\/td>\n<td>1st<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Run stop win rate<\/td>\n<td>39.0%<\/td>\n<td>1st<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adjusted line yards<\/td>\n<td>2.77<\/td>\n<td>2nd<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Run stuff rate<\/td>\n<td>38.0%<\/td>\n<td>1st<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>New England has been stout against the run, particularly because of two men: Milton Williams and Christian Barmore. The two starting defensive tackles, who have been on the field for a respective 73 and 71 percent of defensive snaps so far this season, have anchored the Patriots pass defense. Their win rates in the running game reflect this, with Williams ranked fourth in the NFL (63%) and Barmore seventh (54%).<\/p>\n<p>While the quality of opposition can again be questioned, there is no denying that the two high-priced defenders did what they are being paid to do: dominate. That is also what they are doing in the pass rushing department.<\/p>\n<p>Williams\u2019 pass rush win rate (23%) is clearly the highest among interior defensive linemen. Meanwhile, both Harold Landry III (20%; 18th) and K\u2019Lavon Chaisson (18%; 19th) are ranked in the top 20 on the edge. Barmore is missing from the top of the NFL leaderboard here, but there is a simple reason for that: he is facing one of the highest double-team rates among all NFL defensive tackles, and therefore helping free up the likes of Williams and company.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, despite all the disruptive talent up front, New England\u2019s defense and particularly its pass defense have been lacking.
