The PFF End Zone

Week 11 reminded us why the NFL season’s middle stretch is where contenders separate themselves. The Eagles looked every bit like the defending NFC champions again — physical, fast, and ruthless up front. Their defensive resurgence stands out in John Kosko’s latest defensive line rankings, and Bradley Locker dives deeper into how Philadelphia’s front — led by EDGE Jaelan Phillips — is returning to championship form.

In Kansas City, the urgency couldn’t be higher. The Chiefs enter Week 12 with a 68% playoff chance if they win, but that number plummets to just 33% with a loss, per Timo Riske’s simulation-driven playoff projections. Every possession suddenly matters for Patrick Mahomes and company as they fight to stay in the AFC’s elite tier.
