In this episode, a deep dive into the offensive line rankings of NFL teams reveals that the New England Patriots are positioned to improve their quarterback protection. With a focus on the 'three Ps'—playmakers, play callers, and protection—the analysis suggests that while the Patriots’ receiving corps, especially with Stefon Diggs returning from injury, could elevate their ranking, concerns remain about their overall offensive line effectiveness.

Observations highlight the need for improved decision-making and reducing fumbles, which will be crucial under pressure.
