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 Connor against Yaboibugz yt 🐰 — the men, not the teams
Connor leads it 2-0. Connor has won 2 straight.
2 meetings avg 43.5 — 23.5 biggest: 28 pts to Connor

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.
