NEW YORK’S BEST PUSHBACK
Roster Strength Is New York’s Only Close Fight
New York's roster gives the team one place to push back. New York sits only 1.2 points behind Chicago in Roster Strength, but close is not the same as an edge. Chicago still has Caleb Williams at quarterback and Ben Johnson leading the coaching staff, two advantages the Jets 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.
