What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
Miami Dolphins
What Miami Has Going for It
There is useful talent in Miami, starting with De’Von Achane and Chop Robinson. Roster Strength leads the team at 79.7, but the lineup is not deep enough to cover every weak spot.
What Miami Needs to Fix
Miami gets into the most trouble in long obvious-passing situations or physical trench games where Miami cannot win with speed alone. That is why Recent Performance at 68.7 remains the area that needs the most work.
Detroit Lions
What Detroit Does Best
Jahmyr Gibbs sits at the center of an offense that can score in more than one way. The 88.5 Offense grade shows a unit that can adjust when defenses take away the first option.
What Still Needs Work
Recent Performance is Detroit's lowest grade at 80.1. The team has been least convincing in interior pressure or injury-heavy games that take away the run game and force Goff off his spot.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Jahmyr Gibbs makes Detroit harder to defend because the offense can score without a long drive. The 14.7-point Explosiveness gap shows how much harder Miami has to work for points. Dan Campbell gives Detroit the stronger coaching grade and a more established identity from week to week.
Roster Strength is the best thing Miami has going for it at 79.7, but it is not enough to flip the matchup by itself. Even so, Detroit has the better setup because its advantages in big-play ability and on the sideline point in the same direction.
