Where did Patriots land in latest offensive line rankings?
The Patriots aren't among the elite, but they have clearly improved along the offensive line, according to the latest rankings.
In the wake of a 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, the New England Patriots' offensive line has received praise from Pro Football Focus (PFF) who ranked it No. 11 overall in their latest offensive-line power rankings. PFF noted that the biggest question heading into the season was whether Will Campbell's struggles were due to injury, but the left tackle performed well in pass protection despite the loss.
All five starters on the unit had pass-block win rates above 90.0%, but their run-blocking grades were below 70.0%. The Patriots' starting front consisted of Will Campbell, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Jared Wilson, Mike Onwenu, and Morgan Moses. The unit allowed three sacks for 10 yards in the game, but Onwenu, Moses, Campbell, and Moses showed promising performances in protection and limited pressure from the edge.
The ranking reflects a solid foundation but a unit that still needs to improve to reach the top tier of the league.
