Texans win the turnover battle and the game

THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Texans	-12.0	+2.0	-14.0	-17
Titans	+3.8	+0.9	+2.9	+6

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.

YOUR NOTEBOOK what you wrote about them — private, and never a Sapphire statistic

HOW THEY PLAY the man, not the franchise — only weeks the record attributes to him, this season

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 Trollstradamus - Texans against Spitz — the men, not the teams

All square at 1-1. Spitz won the last one.

2 meetings avg 20.0 — 26.0 biggest: 28 pts to Spitz

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.
