THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dolphins | -16.8 | +0.6 | -17.4 | -7 |
| Commanders | -1.2 | -3.4 | +2.2 | -4 |
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
Nicole Santos
Beat reporter
Washington's pass rush was the difference — Jeffery Simmons alone had 4 sacks and Miami's line surrendered 6 total, leaving their quarterback in constant distress while Jayden Daniels carved them up for 5 touchdown passes in a 35-0 rout.

De'Von Achane ran for 173 yards and 2 touchdowns on a day when Miami's offense generated almost nothing else — the Dolphins' desperation to stay on the ground (33% passing) against a defense that was already suffocating them says everything about how little they trusted what was happening in the pocket.

Miami's offensive line got dismantled — 6 sacks allowed is a disaster that no running back, not even one with 173 yards, can fix when your passing game is dead on arrival at 57 yards.
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.
