THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Packers | +13.6 | -1.3 | +14.9 | +7 |
| Chargers | -12.7 | -0.0 | -12.7 | -10 |
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.

IN THE BOOTH
Talia Morgan
Beat reporter
Green Bay's ground game was the story — Josh Jacobs punched in 3 rushing touchdowns while the Chargers couldn't protect their quarterback and gave the ball away twice, and that margin was never in doubt. The Bolts threw it 43 times and gained 265 yards and it didn't matter, because getting Herbert hit 6 times tends to end your day before it starts.
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.

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.
