Schatz does say he does not exclude week 18 games where teams rested their starters, so some teams got moved around a little bit due to that.
Patriots: 29th overall (27th last year). Weighed DOVA: 29th. Offense: 30th. Defense: 30th. Ahead of only CAR, TEN, and CLE (which was the worst team by far, after being 8th last year).
So not the very worst team. Just the 4th worst team. Congrats to all involved.
Of note, the Pats were -34% DVOA going into week 18. If you take that as the final "real" DVOA for the Pats, they would be the second-worst team this year, ahead of only the Browns (-39.9%).
