"The report card, which grades and assesses each of the 32 teams in NFL based the ratings and grades from more than 1,700 players, hasn't been too kind to New England over the years. Perhaps due to those unflattering results announced about NFL team's various faults - including poor facilities and lackluster travel resources - the NFLPA did not release the results of the 2026 report cards after the NFL filed a grievance."
"Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reportedly acquired a copy of the 2026 NFLPA report card, with the Patriots ranking 26 out of 32 teams in the league across a variety of rankings. It's actually an improvement for New England. After ranking 29th out of 32 teams in the 2024 report cards, New England plummeted to 31st in the NFL in 2025 before making limited gains with these 2026 results."
"The 2025 season was a resounding success for the Patriots, who went from a four-win club in 2024 to winning the AFC East, posting a 14-3 regular-season record, and making it all the way to Super Bowl LX. But, despite that success on the field, New England still has work to do when it comes to earning high marks in the NFL Players Association's annual report cards."
The New England Patriots achieved remarkable on-field success in 2025, winning the AFC East with a 14-3 record and reaching Super Bowl LX. However, this performance contrasts sharply with their consistently poor ratings in the NFLPA's annual report cards, which evaluate all 32 NFL teams based on feedback from over 1,700 players. The Patriots have ranked in the bottom 10 for three consecutive years. The 2026 report card, initially withheld after an NFL grievance claiming the assessments violated the collective bargaining agreement by disparaging clubs, was leaked to media outlets. New England ranked 26th overall, improving from 31st in 2025 but still far from competitive standards. Specific grades revealed deficiencies in home game field conditions, food and dining facilities, locker room amenities, and training room services, though strength coaches received an A rating.
