Trent McDuffie is the highest-graded CB left in playoffs, per PFF

The Kansas City Chiefs will have a huge advantage against the Buffalo Bills this weekend with cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and L’Jarius Sneed in their defensive secondary.

While Sneed has turned heads this season with his lockdown coverage against opposing receivers, Pro Football Focus highlighted McDuffie’s accomplishments on Friday, pointing out that the second-year defender is their highest-graded cornerback among remaining playoff teams.

McDuffie’s excellence in 2023 earned him first-team All-Pro honors, and his outstanding ability to keep opponents in check should serve Kansas City well in the Divisional round of the AFC playoffs.

PFF grades may not be infallible, but the prestige of having a top-rated player at a premium position shouldn’t be discounted. The Chiefs will have their hands full against Buffalo’s high-octane offense, but with Sneed McDuffie in the defensive backfield, Bills quarterback Josh Allen will have to make a serious effort to keep his team ahead of the sticks on passing downs.
