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.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
What Tampa Bay Does Best
Big plays are a real part of Tampa Bay's offense. Baker Mayfield drives the 82.0 Explosiveness grade, while Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka give defenses more than one matchup to track.
What Tampa Bay Needs to Fix
Todd Bowles has to give Tampa Bay better answers when the offense presses or the defense gives up explosives behind the blitz. The 76.6 Coaching Direction grade points to a staff that still needs more consistency in preparation and adjustments.
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 Baker Mayfield gives Tampa Bay. Andy Reid gives Kansas City the stronger coaching grade and a more established identity from week to week.
Tampa Bay can still swing the matchup with its big-play ability through Baker Mayfield. Even so, Kansas City has the better setup because its advantages at quarterback and on the sideline point in the same direction.
