Rams -1.2 +2.6 -3.8 -8
Cardinals +10.3 +1.8 +8.5 +19

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.
THE SERIES Monty against Jonathan — the men, not the teams
All square at 1-1. Monty won the last one.
2 meetings avg 38.0 — 36.5 biggest: 6 pts to Monty
S1 · week 10 Monty 48 — 42 Jonathan MONTY
S1 · week 6 Monty 28 — 31 Jonathan JONATHAN
Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
