Colts +8.1 -0.3 +8.4 +5
Browns -4.3 +0.9 -5.2 -2
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 Ukulelelink against Coke — the men, not the teams
Ukulelelink leads it 1-0. Ukulelelink won the last one.
1 meeting avg 48.0 — 27.0 biggest: 21 pts to Ukulelelink

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.
