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 MurdaCW against Lamy — the men, not the teams
MurdaCW leads it 2-0. MurdaCW has won 2 straight.
2 meetings avg 37.5 — 32.5 biggest: 7 pts to MurdaCW
S1 · week 17 MurdaCW 37 — 34 Lamy MURDACW
S1 · week 12 MurdaCW 38 — 31 Lamy 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.
