▲ / ▼ are rank moves — up the board is positive. Trend is each team's rank across weeks 1–3, drawn so a rising line is a rising team. Components: offense — passing, rushing, pass blocking (sacks allowed), run blocking (stuff rate); defense — the mirrors (pass rush = sacks forced, run stuff = carries stopped). GP = games informing the rating at that week; low GP means the number leans on last season, decayed.
