The divisional round of the playoffs has had its numbers crunched and applied to Madden NFL 26 in this week’s ratings update, with no major surprises in terms of changes.<\/p>\n
As expected, the New England Patriots<\/a> have seen an increase in OVR for a number of players following their 28-16 victory<\/a> over the Houston Texans<\/a>, including Christian Gonzalez<\/a>, who rose to a 97 OVR. That said, the Texans had some of the biggest increases overall, with defensive tackles Sheldon Rankins<\/a> and Tommy Togiai<\/a> being the only players, alongside Seattle Seahawks<\/a> linebacker Drake Thomas<\/a>, to see a bump of two points to their OVR.<\/p>\n The Denver Broncos<\/a> also saw a healthy bump to player ratings following the team’s victory over the Buffalo Bills<\/a> on Sunday, as did the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> after their victory over the Chicago Bears<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n Here’s the full list of Madden NFL 26 Divisional Round ratings updates:<\/p>\n AFC East <\/p>\n Buffalo Bills<\/p>\n Miami Dolphins<\/a><\/p>\n New England Patriots<\/p>\n Houston Texans<\/p>\n Denver Broncos<\/p>\n New York Giants<\/a><\/p>\n Chicago Bears<\/p>\n Carolina Panthers<\/a><\/p>\n Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a><\/p>\n Los Angeles Rams <\/p>\n San Francisco 49ers<\/a> <\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n br\/]<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2026 ESPN Internet Ventures.
