Bears -15.1 -2.3 -12.8 -17
Lions +4.8 -3.7 +8.5 +4
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

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 Lamy against MurdaCW — the men, not the teams
MurdaCW leads it 2-0. MurdaCW has won 2 straight.
2 meetings avg 32.5 — 37.5 biggest: 7 pts to MurdaCW
S1 · week 17 Lamy 34 — 37 MurdaCW MURDACW

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.
