THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bengals | -4.0 | +0.5 | -4.5 | -3 |
| Ravens | +8.6 | -0.6 | +9.2 | +14 |
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
Jaylen Rivers
The insider
Cincinnati's offense couldn't generate anything against Baltimore's defense—14 points in a 21-point loss is the kind of shutout that feels worse than the scoreboard shows. Elijah Sarratt caught 3 touchdowns, which tells you everything about where Baltimore's scoring came from and how little room the Bengals had to work.
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.

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.
