TEAM PROFILE

What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems

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.

Carolina Panthers

Carolina's Best Grade

Carolina does not have a true strength in the current ratings. QB Stability leads the team at 75.1, but Bryce Young still needs a better setup around him.

What Carolina Needs to Fix

Dave Canales has to give Carolina better answers when Young has to carry the offense without help from the run game. The 70.8 Coaching Direction grade points to a staff that still needs more consistency in preparation and adjustments.

PFM ANALYSIS

What the PFM Numbers Say

New York has more talent and depth across the lineup. The 8.6-point gap in Roster Strength gives the team more answers when injuries hit or a matchup goes bad. Will McDonald IV gives New York the defense you would trust more when the game comes down to one stop.

Carolina has one answer New York cannot ignore. The Panthers hold a 8.5-point edge in Recent Performance. Tetairoa McMillan gives the offense a way to control the game. Even so, New York has the better setup because its advantages across the roster and on defense point in the same direction.
