"The New England Patriots are 3-2 with an offense far better than last year's. Drake Maye has taken the next step, scoring nine total touchdowns to only two interceptions, while Stefon Diggs looks like a man reborn. Their 25 points per game sets them twelfth in the league, up from last season's 30th rank, ahead of the Chiefs and Rams."
"Despite this, the Patriots have the opportunity to become a more potent offense by passing the ball even more. Currently, the team calls pass plays 15th most in the league at 57.4% of the time. That marks them 18th in the league in running calls, with a 42.6% run play percentage. Compared to what we're used to, that might seem like a pass-heavy offense, but it isn't in actuality."
New England stands 3-2 with an improved offense, averaging 25 points per game and ranking twelfth, up from 30th last season. Drake Maye has nine total touchdowns and two interceptions, while Stefon Diggs has regained form. The team passes on 57.4% of plays (15th-most) and runs 42.6% (18th), a middle-ground approach compared with league norms that favor the pass. The rushing attack ranks 27th in yards per game and faces setbacks from Antonio Gibson's injury, Rhamondre Stevenson's persistent fumble issues, and rookie TreVeyon Henderson's slow start. Increasing pass volume could unlock greater offensive efficiency.
