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 Bigdaddyray against Lamy — the men, not the teams
Bigdaddyray leads it 1-0. Bigdaddyray won the last one.
1 meeting avg 28.0 — 9.0 biggest: 19 pts to Bigdaddyray

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.
