Steelers +10.7 -1.9 +12.6 +24
Saints -5.2 -1.1 -4.1 +11
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.

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 Bigytulips against AL-Saints — the men, not the teams
Bigytulips leads it 1-0. Bigytulips won the last one.
1 meeting avg 55.0 — 17.0 biggest: 38 pts to Bigytulips
S1 · week 7 Bigytulips 55 — 17 AL-Saints BIGYTULIPS
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.
