PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the Seattle Seahawks Higher
The Seahawks can lean on their defense more than the Commanders can. That creates a better floor when the offense stalls or field position turns against the team. The Washington Commanders are closest in qb stability, where the teams remain essentially even.
Seattle also brings the bigger big-play threat. Seattle adds the stronger coaching operation. The Seattle Seahawks still deserves the higher PFM rating.

WASHINGTON’S BEST PUSHBACK
QB Stability Is Washington’s Only Close Fight
Jayden Daniels gives Washington one place to push back. Washington sits only 0.2 points behind Seattle in QB Stability, but close is not the same as an edge. Seattle still has the deeper roster and Mike Macdonald leading the coaching staff, two advantages the Commanders cannot match in this comparison.

How to Read This Comparison
PFM Team Score determines the overall order. The Team DNA comparison puts five core pillars on the same 0–100 scale, while the full rows show every current category.
PFM compares overall team strength rather than predicting one matchup. Road Ahead adds schedule context without changing PFM Team Score.
