Campbell played 35 pass-blocking snaps without allowing a sack or a hurry, and he yielded just one hit and one quarterback hurry. This performance translated into a pass-block efficiency rating of 98.6, highlighting how well he held up in pass protection. For context, the grading scale used evaluates plays on a spectrum where 0 is neutral, 60 is average, and higher numbers indicate superior performance. Campbell’s outing was well above average, underscoring his resilience and effectiveness in protecting the quarterback.
The Patriots’ passing game benefited from Campbell’s strong protection, helping quarterback Drake Maye accumulate 235 passing yards and three touchdowns in the win, with the team totaling 26 points. Going into the game, there was uncertainty about whether Campbell would be ready, but he reported no setbacks after the contest and suggested he would be available for the upcoming Thursday matchup.
Injury concerns extended to the Patriots’ offensive line, with three additional linemen—Morgan Moses, Alijah Vera-Tucker, and Ben Brown—sustaining injuries during the Jets game. Their statuses remained uncertain, contributing to the ongoing discussion about the depth and health of the line.
Caleb Lomu, a rookie, was again called upon to step in due to injuries, moving to right tackle to replace Moses. Lomu performed commendably, matching his prior performance and earning a perfect pass-block efficiency rating in the latest outing, reflecting his rapid adaptation under pressure. The team has been hopeful about Lomu’s development, given the initial expectation that he could serve as a longer-term replacement for Moses.
Overall, Campbell’s return to form provided a positive sign for the Patriots as they navigate a slate crowded with lineman injuries, and Lomu’s strong contributions highlighted the potential depth developing on the roster.
