Game Previews

Our stat-heavy analysis of a very close Super Bowl matchup looks at everything from performance against the blitz to cornerback coverage stats to trends in the running game.

This early preview of Super Bowl LVII looks at weekly trends, a clear Chiefs defensive weakness, and two teams that are strong blitzing.

If the San Francisco 49ers are going to return to the Super Bowl, they'll need to keep their rookie quarterback healthy and active.

Patrick Mahomes' ankle is the big question in an otherwise very close matchup of two excellent teams.

The San Francisco 49ers defense has one glaring weakness. The Dallas Cowboys need their star receiver to exploit it.

The quarterback is likely to be the key reason that Buffalo beats Cincinnati—but also the key reason that they lose.

Did the bye week give Philadelphia's quarterback a chance to heal? Or will the Giants be able to exploit a passer playing at less than 100%?

The Kansas City Chiefs have the best tight end in the world. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the NFL's worst defense against tight ends. Yikes.

The record for pass attempts in an NFL playoff game is 68 by Ben Roethlisberger against Cleveland. Tom Brady may need more than that if the Bucs are going to beat Dallas.

How much can one star receiver do for an otherwise moribund roster? We're about to find out.
