New England Patriots Defense

✦ Blitz AI

New England's 77.4 rating ranks them seventh among defenses and reflects a sharp 9.7-point jump from their previous calculation. The Patriots are allowing just 14.1 points per game (89th percentile) and 298.4 yards per game (79th percentile), which are the primary drivers of their elite standing. However, their rating is weighted 40 percent toward their 2025 baseline of 71.0 due to the five games played so far in 2026, meaning the current season sample is still early; they generate only 3.4 sacks per game (37th percentile) and rank in the 44th percentile for takeaway rate, limiting their ceiling as a defense.
