The Patriots are struggling. They earned just a 52.3 team passing grade and generated the fewest expected points added (EPA) per play (-0.72) on offense in Week 5. They were successful on only 17.6% of their plays, the lowest rate in the league.
The Bears generated a league-leading 0.27 EPA per play on offense in Week 5, with the offense also ranking first in receiving yards after the catch per reception (10.4). Wide receiver D.J. Moore put up a 92.8 receiving grade, the best mark of his season, thanks to a massive three-touchdown and 230-yard game.
The Commanders called 55 consecutive pass plays from early in the second quarter until the end of the game — a PFF record — racking up a league-high 378 passing yards in the process. However, it still wasn't enough to save themselves from falling to the Bears at home.
We're also reaching the part of the season when injuries start to pile up. Players such as Justin Jefferson, De’Von Achane and Travis Kelce are now dealing with injuries, so we hope these players and their teams bounce back quickly.
BIGGEST RISER: INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Despite losing quarterback Anthony Richardson mid-game again, the Colts got another win to improve to 3-2. The offensive line looks much improved, with all starters ranking in the top 25% at their respective positions in PFF grade.
While the injury to Richardson certainly hurts, Gardner Minshew is one of the game's better backups and has posted PFF grades near the 70s in his limited time paired with now-head coach Shane Steichen.
BIGGEST FALLER: NEW YORK GIANTS
It has been tough sledding for the Giants, who are riding a three-game losing streak heading into Week 6. The offensive line has been a train wreck — no lineman has graded above 52.0, and the starting tackles currently rank second- and third-worst at the position.
The result is that Daniel Jones has been sacked 31 times, and the Giants are generating the second-fewest EPA per play on offense. Entering Week 6, they have a 10% chance of picking first overall in the 2024 NFL Draft and a 48% chance of picking in the top five.
