After the Indianapolis Colts' last-second win over the New England Patriots, Pro Football Focus has now distributed the grades of the individual players.
So which players on offense and defense received the best grades and which didn't?
But before we fully delve into these numbers, I always want to point out that while PFF grades are helpful in quantifying a player's performance, they are not the be-all and end-all when it comes to player evaluation. Es ist eine von vielen verfügbaren Kennzahlen und sollte als solche behandelt werden.
Here's a look at PFF's rating system to provide some context behind the numbers:
90.0+: Elite
80-89.9: High quality
70-79.9: Good
60-69.9: Above average
50-59.9: Average
40-49.9: Below average
39.9 or less: Poor
Below are the Colts players who did not receive high grades from PFF. However, if you want a more optimistic outlook on the game, here's a full breakdown of the Colts' top-rated offensive playersand their top-rated defenders .
WR AD Mitchell
PFF grade: 44.3
On 36 offensive shots, Mitchell only had two targets. None of the passes were caught and one of the incompletions was a crucial loss on the Colts' final possession of the game.
PFF grade: 46.5
Overall, it was a difficult performance for the Colts' run defense as a whole, as it gave up 200 yards on the ground to the Patriots. Of course, it's a group effort when it comes to giving up that kind of yardage, but statistically it was a quiet day for Stewart, who had a solo tackle.
PFF grade: 48.8
PFF glaubte mit einer positiven Note von 70,1, dass Granson sich in diesem Spiel als Run-Blocker behaupten konnte. But as a pass catcher, he was targeted three times, had no balls and, like Mitchell, had a crucial drop on the final possession.
