Falcons -1.4 -3.1 +1.6 -7
Browns -4.3 +0.9 -5.2 -2

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 SL FeaRz against Coke — the men, not the teams
SL FeaRz leads it 1-0. SL FeaRz won the last one.
1 meeting avg 34.0 — 31.0 biggest: 3 pts to SL FeaRz
S1 · week 14 SL FeaRz 34 — 31 Coke SL FEARZ
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.
