How well is your team’s plan working? Introducing NFL Team Utility Tiers

Jourdan Rodrigue introduces the NFL Team Utility Tiers, an ongoing evaluation of how effectively franchises are executing their intended offseason plans through the first three weeks of the season. Rather than focusing strictly on win-loss records, the system assesses team functionality, coaching adjustments, and schematic execution relative to their established goals.

The review highlights teams successfully following their plans, such as the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars, alongside squads navigating early adversity. Several franchises, including the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, continue to produce competitive offensive results despite dealing with significant early-season injury setbacks.
