Chargers +5.1 +1.6 +3.5 +5
Rams -1.2 +2.6 -3.8 -8

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 Wavvy against Monty — the men, not the teams
Wavvy leads it 1-0. Wavvy won the last one.
1 meeting avg 23.0 — 20.0 biggest: 3 pts to Wavvy
S1 · week 8 Wavvy 23 — 20 Monty WAVVY
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.
