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 Yoashtrey against Jonathan — the men, not the teams
Jonathan leads it 2-0. Jonathan has won 2 straight.
2 meetings avg 20.5 — 41.5 biggest: 39 pts to Jonathan
S1 · week 9 Yoashtrey 13 — 52 Jonathan JONATHAN
S1 · week 2 Yoashtrey 28 — 31 Jonathan JONATHAN
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.
