Onwenu lost weight and gained a lot of nastiness back, it seems. A lot of credit goes to Cole Popovich and Carmen Bricillo, the new OL coaching duo. The entire line played great along with the rookie RT:

It's no surprise that New England's offensive line ranked at the top of the grading scale after one week. Mason had the second-best grade out of any guard in the league, Thuney (5th) and Andrews (5th) were top five at their respective positions, and Wynn managed to crack the top 10 at tackle, grading 10th best.
- Shaq Mason (RG): 89.2
- Joe Thuney (LG): 82.3
- David Andrews (C): 80.4
- Isaiah Wynn (LT): 78.4
- Michael Onwenu (OL): 75.4
- Jermaine Eluemunor: 75.2
The offensive line dominated at the line of scrimmage, which allowed Cam Newton (68.2 overall grade), J.J. Taylor (71.4), Sony Michel (69.3), Rex Burkhead (63.1) and James White (57.5) to combine for 271 rushing yards, which is the most of any team through one week of the regular season.
