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 jpedro8. against Monty — the men, not the teams
jpedro8. leads it 1-0. jpedro8. won the last one.
1 meeting avg 63.0 — 31.0 biggest: 32 pts to jpedro8.
S1 · week 13 jpedro8. 63 — 31 Monty JPEDRO8.
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.
