The Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens remain everyone’s favorites, but NFL players have something different to say about it. These power-packed teams shook up the NFL scene with their top-notch performances in their latest match in Week 17. However, what comes as a shock is that despite earning plaudits for their record-breaking achievement, the players chose to sideline their coordinators.

Chiefs and Ravens’ taskmasters missing from update!

A recent Instagram post by the NFL Players Association has caused quite a stir. The post highlighted the NFL’s initiative to choose their most-favored coordinator from each team. The post reads, “The NFL players were asked to rate offensive, defensive, and special teams coordinators last fall as part of the second annual NFLPA Player Team Report Card project.” It shows the top five coordinators from each team on the defensive and offensive grounds. However, the post doesn’t mention the Chiefs’ and Ravens’ coordinators.

This assessment took place last year and involved many verticals, from ownership to coaching facilities. During this process, the offensive players were asked about their favorite coordinator, and the defensive players voted for their favorite defensive coordinators. The defensive list includes names of veteran coaches, including the Cincinnati Bengals and Las Vegas Raiders. Aaron Glen, the defensive taskmaster of the Lions, attained the top spot. The others on the list include Dan Quinn, Brian Flores, and Raheem Morris.

Interestingly, there is no mention of Todd Monken or Steve Spanuolo on the list. Similarly, offensive coordinators include Frank Smith, Thomas Brown, Brian Schottenheimer, Brian Callahan, and Kellen Moore. It also mentioned a list of the special coordination. What’s the reason? The main reason remains under wraps, but the Ravens and Chiefs won hearts this season.

Kansas City Chiefs and Ravens: The dominant teams

The Ravens’ impressive 56-19 victory over the Dolphins solidified their position as one of the top teams in the NFL. Their Week 17 game showcased Lamar Jackson’s powerful performance and made the team a fan favorite. This is evident from their high rankings on both Theathletic.com and NFL.com, where the Ravens remain in the top three spots, dominating over other teams.

Furthermore, the team’s defense looks powerful, as evidenced in their match against the Bengals, where the Chiefs won with a 25-17 record at Arrowhead Stadium.
