Storylines

Mason McCormick grades out as PIT's best

Mason McCormick (G) is at 81 out of 100 through week 8 of 2026. That score compares him with everyone else at his position — an 84 would mean better than 84% of them — and it comes from charted play, not raw totals.

Where They Stand

Overall: Grade 59, 13th of 32 — around the middle of the pack.

Strengths: secondary (3rd).

Coaching: Mike McCarthy beats what his rosters' grades say he should by 1.4 points a game, over 295 games, 11th in the league.

This season: 5-2. Last time out, they beat New Orleans Saints 16-10 at Stade de France.

Since preseason: Up 1.1 points since the preseason, mostly because its defense players graded up (T.J. Watt +8 and Payton Wilson +7) and its offense players graded up (DK Metcalf +11 and Jaylen Warren +6).

Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.
