Lowest pressure rate allowed among OL this season Buccaneers 18.4% Chiefs 18.9% Falcons 19 Via @PFF on X

What happened: Tampa Bay sits first at 18.4%, followed by Kansas City at 18.9% and Atlanta at 19.1%. Cincinnati ranks fourth at 20.6% with Minnesota fifth at 21.2% in the regular season.

Why it matters: For Atlanta, clean pockets carry extra weight after Atlanta changed quarterbacks on a short week amid injuries. The gap from first to fifth is under three percentage points, leaving little separation entering mid-October.

By the numbers: Tampa Bay 18.4%; Kansas City 18.9%; Atlanta 19.1%; Cincinnati 20.6%; Minnesota 21.2%. Top-to-fifth 8 points.

What to watch: Week 6 pass rush matchups will show whether Tampa Bay and Kansas City hold their edge up front.
