PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Atlanta Falcons Higher

The Atlanta Falcons bring the bigger big-play threat. Chunk gains can flip field position and create points without requiring a perfect drive. The Tennessee Titans are closest in coaching direction, where the teams remain essentially even.

Atlanta also brings fewer roster problems. Atlanta adds the less severe defensive concern. The Atlanta Falcons still deserves the higher PFM rating.

TENNESSEE’S BEST PUSHBACK

Coaching Direction Is Tennessee’s Only Close Fight

Robert Saleh gives Tennessee one place to push back. Tennessee sits only 0.3 points behind Atlanta in Coaching Direction, but close is not the same as an edge. Atlanta still has Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback and fewer roster problems, two advantages the Titans cannot match in this comparison.

How to Read This Comparison
