EA SportsThe Patriots air attack looks deadly in "Madden NFL 11".ESPN's exclusive "Madden NFL 11" player ratings countdown continues today with the Patriots and Bills.
But before we get to those numbers, it seems everyone is looking for an explanation to the new "swagger" ratings category. According to an EA Sports representative, swagger "determines the likelihood of a player to celebrate on the way to the end zone or after a touchdown. For example, a running back like Adrian Peterson (99 rating) has a greater tendency to celebrate than Frank Gore (50 rating)."
So there you have it. Now click on the links below to check out the rosters and ratings for the Bills and Patriots as we close out the ACF East.

As you'll see, the dominance of Randy Moss' video game character looks to continue with "Madden NFL 11". I can't think of another pair of polygonal hands that has caught as many passes throughout the years in "Madden" as Moss. This year he checks in with 99 jumping, 99 spectacular catch, and, of course, 95 swagger as "The Freak" has never been shy about celebrating a touchdown.
