THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Eagles	+7.4	+0.2	+7.1	+9
Giants	+4.2	+0.9	+3.3	+3

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.

IN THE BOOTH

Talia Morgan Beat reporter

Philadelphia's ground game was so suffocating the Giants had to abandon it—12 rushing yards says everything about why this one got out of hand. Hurts threw 4 touchdowns in an afternoon that will matter come playoff time.

They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

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.

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.
