- The Chiefs have the edge at quarterback: Patrick Mahomes is as consistent as they come, and he’s one game away from securing a third straight Super Bowl victory.
- The Eagles sweep the defensive unit categories: From the defensive line to the secondary, Philadelphia beats out Kansas City in on-paper talent.
Estimated Reading Time: 7 minutes
The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are once again squaring off in the Super Bowl, a rematch of the instant classic from two years ago in which the Chiefs came out on top 38-35. Both teams enter the Big Game hotter than ever, and here we will look at which team has the best unit at each position group.
Quarterback: Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes is seeking his third consecutive Super Bowl win and fourth overall, while Jalen Hurts is hunting his first. Mahomes has been solid through the Chiefs’ two playoff victories, putting up a 79.4 PFF passing grade against the Texans and a 72.1 mark against the Bills. Mahomes’ best Super Bowl performance came against the Eagles, as he posted an 89.5 PFF overall grade, an 80.8 PFF passing grade and an 84.6 PFF rushing grade.
The last time Hurts was in the Super Bowl, he had the performance of a lifetime, putting up a 92.2 PFF overall grade with a nearly identical PFF passing grade (92.9). While Hurts has been battling injuries late in the 2024 season, they didn’t seem to bother him in the NFC Championship game, where he graded very similarly to his Super Bowl performance, putting up a 92.1 PFF overall grade and a 91.6 PFF passing grade as the Eagles routed the Washington Commanders.
Running Back: Eagles
An argument can be made for the Chiefs having the better running back room, as they’ve had three running backs make contributions throughout the season in Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt and Samaje Perine. Saquon Barkley has been the Eagles’ lone workhorse. However, Barkley has been so good that he catapults the Eagles’ backfield to the top despite his backup, Kenneth Gainwell, grading out as the worst qualifying running back in PFF rushing grade. Barkley has been particularly dominant in the playoffs, rushing for at least 118 yards in every game and scoring a combined five touchdowns.
Wide Receiver: Eagles
The Eagles have the two best wide receivers in this game in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, both of whom feature top-20 PFF receiving grades this season. The Chiefs have no receivers in the top 20.
The highest-graded Chiefs receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, ranks 29th, and he didn’t join the team until Week 8 after starting the year in Tennessee. Despite that, the Eagles don’t have much depth beyond Brown and Smith, as Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson, Philadelphia’s only other qualifiers, rank near the bottom of the league in PFF receiving grade. Despite the lack of depth, Brown and Smith’s contributions are enough to give the Eagles the edge.
Tight End: Chiefs
2024 has been the lowest-graded season of Travis Kelce’s career, but he was still very productive, tallying more than 800 receiving yards in the regular season. He came up huge for the Chiefs in their divisional-round win over the Texans, catching seven of eight targets for 117 yards and a touchdown on his way to a 91.0 PFF overall grade, by far his best this season. The Bills in the AFC Championship game kept him in check, though, as he caught only two passes for 19 yards and a 55.5 PFF overall grade, his third-worst outing of the season.
Should Kelce struggle in the Super Bowl, Noah Gray has shown he can pick up the slack. This year was something of a breakout period for him, currently carrying a 71.8 PFF overall grade.
Dallas Goedert has had a solid season despite missing time due to injury, and he’s been huge in the postseason. He boasts an 84.5 PFF overall grade during the three-game stretch, with 15 catches for 188 yards and a score. Despite Goedert’s heroics, there isn’t much depth behind him in the Eagles’ tight end room, so the Chiefs earn the nod here.
Offensive Line: Eagles
This pick wasn’t the slam-dunk choice it may initially seem. Despite being named PFF’s Best Offensive Line, the Eagles are dealing with some turmoil in the unit. Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens suffered injuries during the NFC Championship game, and while they currently don’t have injury designations attached to them, it could be something to monitor as we get closer to the Big Game.
Tackle has been a big issue for the Chiefs this season, and as a result,t they have had to mix and match their offensive line, ultimately settling on kicking guard Joe Thuney out to left tackle, where he has performed competently with a 65.1 PFF overall grade.
Defensive Line: Eagles
There may not be a better defensive line in football than that of the Eagles. Jalen Carter has been a menace as a pass-rusher during the postseason, recording 20 pressures in three games — including two sacks on his way to an 81.5 PFF pass-rush grade. Jordan Davis hasn’t had nearly as many opportunities to get after the quarterback as Carter, but he has made the most of his snaps, recording a 90.1 PFF pass-rush grade. Philadelphia has also gotten strong production out of Milton Williams, who sports an 87.0 PFF pass-rush grade. Nolan Smith has also been a force off the edge this postseason, converting a team-leading four of his 15 pressures into sacks.
For the Chiefs, Chris Jones has been his usual dominant self, owning an elite 90.2 PFF overall grade and a 90.7 PFF pass-rush grade in Kansas City’s two playoff wins while recording 11 pressures and a sack. George Karlaftis was a game-wrecker for the Chiefs in their divisional-round win over the Texans, turning three of his eight pressures into sacks.
Linebacker: Eagles
Losing Nakobe Dean for the season seemed like a huge blow at the time, but Oren Burks has well to fill in (73.7 PFF grade during the playoffs). Zack Baun has also continued to build on a huge breakout season, boasting a 77.0 PFF overall grade during the playoffs, including an 81.9 mark against the run.
The Chiefs’ Leo Chenal carries a 75.0 PFF overall grade during the postseason while having lined up all over the place. Drue Tranquill and Nick Bolton have been less consistent. Tranquill owns a 60.3 PFF overall grade during the playoffs, while Bolton has struggled to the tune of a 48.4 figure.
Secondary: Eagles
Despite starting two rookie cornerbacks, the Eagles’ secondary has been a strength. Quinyon Mitchell has been particularly impressive during the playoffs, recording an 83.7 PFF overall grade and an 82.5 PFF coverage grade while allowing just a 7.1 passer rating into his coverage. Philadelphia has also gotten contributions from its elder statesmen. Darius Slay, having just turned 34 years old, carries a 75.2 PFF overall grade and a 77.3 PFF coverage grade this postseason.
The Chiefs’ secondary hasn’t been bad by any means this postseason, but they haven’t produced at the level of the Eagles’ unit. There isn’t a single player on their defense to take a coverage snap with a PFF coverage grade above 70.0. Kansas City’s highest-graded coverage defender over the past two games is edge defender George Karlaftis (68.9). The highest-graded members of the team’s secondary this postseason, Justin Reid and Trent McDuffie, have been far more productive against the run: Reid carries an 80.8 grade in that field, while McDuffie is at 73.3.
