PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the Kansas City Chiefs Higher
Andy Reid is the coaching difference. Kansas City has the more dependable answers when the first answer stops working. Buffalo's strongest counterargument is Explosiveness. The Buffalo Bills have more ways to create a sudden scoring chance. That big-play ability can change field position before a defense settles in.
Kansas City also brings the stronger defense. Kansas City adds the deeper roster. The Kansas City Chiefs still deserves the higher PFM rating.
