PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Kansas City Chiefs Higher

Andy Reid gives the Kansas City Chiefs the stronger coaching operation. Preparation and in-game answers matter once the opening script no longer controls the game. The Philadelphia Eagles are closest in defense, where the teams remain essentially even.

Kansas City also brings the steadier quarterback room. The Kansas City Chiefs still deserves the higher PFM rating.

Defense Is Philadelphia’s Only Close Fight

Philadelphia's defense gives the team one place to push back. The Eagles are only 0.5 points behind Kansas City in Defense, but that is where Philadelphia's case ends. Kansas City still has Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Eagles cannot match in this comparison.
