THE BETTER CASE

Where Each Team Has the Better Case

The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears are even in the current PFM ratings.

The gap is narrow, but Jordan Love gives the Green Bay Packers the steadier quarterback room. That lets the offense stay on schedule without asking the rest of the team to cover constant uncertainty. Defense is one of the clearest reasons the Chicago Bears sit higher. The unit gives the offense more chances to recover from a bad drive. Neither argument creates enough separation to move the overall judgment out of the essentially-even range.
