Grades for all 32 teams a month into 2026 NFL season: Raiders, Chiefs, 49ers and Jags tops in league. Meanwhile, an F- for the Chargers?

A month into the 2026 NFL season, early trends are revealing sharp divides among teams, with the Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, and Jacksonville Jaguars leading the league in performance. The Raiders and Chiefs have shown resilience in the AFC West, while the 49ers continue their dominance in the NFC West.

Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars have defied expectations with a strong start, despite losing a tight game to the Patriots. In contrast, the Los Angeles Chargers have struggled, earning an F grade after failing to score more than 13 points in any of their first four games, including a 101-46 point differential against their opponents.

The Buffalo Bills, despite a narrow loss to New England, remain close to an A grade after a 3-1 start, while the Patriots sit at 2-2 with concerns over offensive consistency and quarterback Drake Maye’s recent struggles. The New York Jets have shown flashes of improvement but remain mired in a 1-3 record, with a lopsided loss to the Bears standing out.

The Miami Dolphins, meanwhile, have been the league’s worst team so far, with Malik Willis and a depleted roster failing to mount competitive performances.
