Will Anderson Jr. Is allowing the Texans to blitz less — and win more

One of the best defenses in the NFL: At the center of DeMeco Ryans’ charged-up unit is third-year edge defender Will Anderson Jr., who has already earned six PFF grades of 89.0 or higher through his first 11 outings. Anderson has entered historically rare territory: Anderson is one of only four edge rushers in the last decade to post a pressure rate above 20% through 12 weeks on at least 200 pass-rush snaps. The other three: Micah Parsons in 2023, Jerry Hughes in 2018 and Von Miller in 2016.

QB Film Review: Jalen Hurts silences critics with a near-perfect display against blitz-heavy Vikings

A stellar performance silences critics: Jalen Hurts earned a career-high 95.2 overall PFF grade, the best among all quarterbacks in Week 7 and the highest single-game mark by any passer this season. Perfect throwing downfield: A recurring theme throughout the Eagles’ season had been the inconsistency of their passing attack, but they answered those concerns in emphatic fashion Sunday by pushing the ball downfield. On throws of 20-plus yards, Hurts earned a near-perfect 99.9 passing grade with four big-time throws.

49ers run defense rises to the challenge without Fred Warner

The 49ers bottled up Bijan Robinson and the Falcons’ running backs: Atlanta managed just 54 net rushing yards on 19 running plays, averaging 2.8 yards per rush, and failed to produce a single run of 10 yards or more. Tatum Bethune stepped into Fred Warner's role: The second-year linebacker earned a 76.0 run-defense grade, recording four solo tackles, two assists and three run stops (including one tackle for loss or no gain). There was every reason to expect the San Francisco 49ers defense to take a step back in Week 7. Without All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, sidelined by an ankle injury, and still missing star edge rusher Nick Bosa, the unit entered the matchup shorthanded. On paper, it looked like a tough challenge — especially against an Atlanta Falcons offense boasting one of the NFL’s most efficient and physical rushing […]

NFL Week 7: PFF Team of the Week, Player Awards

Jalen Hurts had his best performance of the season: Hurts earned a 95.2 PFF grade, the highest by any quarterback in a game this season. He completed 19-of-23 passes for 326 yards, recording four big-time throws and no turnover-worthy plays in the dominant outing. Parsons was dominant off the edge for the Packers: Parsons totaled nine pressures, including three sacks, and led all players with an incredible 43.8% pass-rush win rate.

Another vintage Micah Parsons showcase helped the Packers secure an important win

Parsons is still setting career highs: The elite pass rusher is somehow still improving, with his 43.8% pass-rush win rate against the Cardinals in Week 7 representing a career-best clip. Green Bay picked up an important win in another year of NFC North greatness: The Cardinals put forth a valiant effort with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett at the helm, but the Packers did just enough — with plenty of help from Parsons — to take the victory. The Green Bay Packers moved to 4-1-1 after beating the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7: Dive into the PFF game recap for advanced stats, snap counts, early player grades and more! Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes All Arizona Cardinals offensive linemen Jonah Williams and Will Hernandez could do was vent their frustration after Micah Parsons got home again. Williams exasperatingly threw his arms […]

The Carolina Panthers are doing the little things — and winning

The Panthers' run defense is on a hot streak: The Miami Dolphins' and Dallas Cowboys' run games were no match for Carolina's unit in Weeks 5 and 6, respectively. Everything is coming together in Carolina: Bryce Young is playing better, Rico Dowdle is wreaking havoc and the team's run-defense unit is a brick wall. The Carolina Panthers are winners of two straight after beating the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6: Dive into the PFF game recap for advanced stats, snap counts, early player grades and more! Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes The Carolina Panthers’ run defense opened the season as a perceived prime target for opposing ground games, having fallen into several negative game scripts one year ago en route to an NFL-worst 37.4 PFF run-defense grade. And through the first four weeks of the 2025 campaign, that thought became […]

Stefon Diggs is exactly what the Patriots and Drake Maye needed

A year after WR misery, something is brewing in New England: The Patriots' wide receiver corps ranked 30th in PFF receiving grade last season. The unit is up to ninth through Week 5 this year, led by Stefon Diggs. Diggs and Maye are looking to cause chaos in a recently quiet division: The Bills have won five straight AFC East titles, but the Patriots showed on Sunday Night Football that they're out to buck the trend.

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes By the end of the 2024 NFL season, no team’s wide receivers had accounted for fewer yards, explosive passing plays and first downs than the New England Patriots’ young group.

Rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo poised to become faces of Giants’ future

Dart played an efficient game in his NFL debut: His modest passing stat line — 13-of-20 passing for 111 yards and a touchdown — doesn’t tell the full story of a rookie signal-caller who efficiently led the Giants’ offense with his arm and legs. Cam Skattebo is handling a workhorse role: The rookie rusher took on 25 carries, and while it resulted in only 75 rushing yards, he did his job for the Giants' offense.

Aaron Rodgers reaches career highs in conservative metrics as Steelers lean on run, defense

Doing his job to perfection: The future Hall of Famer posted a clean box score, completing 18 of his 22 passes (81.8%) for 199 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions and a 119.5 passer rating. When accounting for drops, his adjusted completion rate rises to 86.4%.  More revealing is how little Pittsburgh is asking him to do: Rodgers averaged just 2.16 seconds to throw, the fifth-fastest single-game mark of his career and fastest among all quarterbacks so far this season. His average depth of target? Just 3.7 yards, the second-lowest mark of his entire career in the PFF era.

2025 NFL Preview: Washington Commanders

Armed with an elite young quarterback, multiple rushing threats and a potentially dynamic receiving corps, the Commanders should possess a high-flying offense once again in 2024. Jayden Daniels finished his rookie season ranked fifth among qualified quarterbacks in PFF overall grade. He and the team’s running back unit combined to rank sixth in the league in PFF rushing grade. Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel bring unique and dynamic skill sets at wide receiver. Expect the Commanders to score plenty of points again this season.Washington’s defense has some catching up to do relative to the team's offense. The greatest concern is a defensive line that finished 31st in the NFL in PFF grade last season. Few major additions were made in the offseason. The hope is that a young player like defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton can step up in year two […]
