What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
Cleveland Browns
What Cleveland Does Best
Jared Verse gives Cleveland a defense that can take over stretches of a game. The 84.2 Defense grade belongs to a unit that can create stops without waiting for the offense to build a lead.
What Cleveland Needs to Fix
Cleveland is asking Jerry Jeudy to create too much the hard way. The 63.7 Explosiveness grade leaves the offense needing too many long drives to score.
Kansas City Chiefs
What Kansas City Does Best
Andy Reid has a clear idea of how Kansas City should play. The 92.3 Coaching Direction grade reflects a staff that consistently puts its best players in useful situations.
What Kansas City Needs to Fix
The 75.6 Recent Performance grade shows that Kansas City has not played to its talent. The team has been exposed in games where protection breaks down and Mahomes cannot use his normal movement to escape pressure.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Kansas City's biggest advantage is simple: Patrick Mahomes is the more settled quarterback, while Cleveland is still figuring out who should run the offense. Kansas City also has more continuity on the sideline under Andy Reid. Todd Monken is just getting started in Cleveland.
Cleveland can make this a fight on defense, with Jared Verse leading the way. Even so, Kansas City has the better setup because its advantages at quarterback and on the sideline point in the same direction.
