What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
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.
New York Jets
What New York Has Going for It
There is useful talent in New York, starting with Garrett Wilson and Will McDonald IV. Roster Strength leads the team at 79.5, but the lineup is not deep enough to cover every weak spot.
What New York Needs to Fix
New York's results have not matched the better parts of the roster. Recent Performance sits at 65.5, with the biggest problems coming in pressure-heavy games where the line loses and Smith has to create outside the structure.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Patrick Mahomes is the better quarterback in this matchup. He gives Kansas City more when the pocket breaks down than Geno Smith gives New York. Andy Reid gives Kansas City the stronger coaching grade and a more established identity from week to week.
Roster Strength is the best thing New York has going for it at 79.5, but it is not enough to flip the matchup by itself. Even so, Kansas City has the better setup because its advantages at quarterback and on the sideline point in the same direction.
