THE BETTER CASE

Where Each Team Has the Better Case

PFM cannot separate the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers on overall score.

The gap is narrow, but Quarterback is where the Green Bay Packers have their cleanest advantage. With Jordan Love, the offense has a better floor when the first answer stops working. The Bears can lean on their defense more than the Packers can. That creates a better floor when the offense stalls or field position turns against the team. Both teams have a legitimate football argument, but neither owns enough across every category.
