THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Bills -6.2 +0.2 -6.3 -13
Patriots +3.1 -0.3 +3.5 +1

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 Yaboibugz yt 🐰 against Connor — the men, not the teams
Connor leads it 2-0. Connor has won 2 straight.
2 meetings avg 23.5 — 43.5 biggest: 28 pts to Connor

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.
