THE WIDER PICTURE

Colts -1.5 -2.8 +1.3 +10
Panthers +12.9 -3.0 +15.9 +8
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.

IN THE BOOTH
Caleb Brooks Beat reporter
Carolina's passing game was on another level—Young threw 4 touchdowns on 335 yards while Indianapolis managed just 85 through the air, and that gap decided it.
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.
THE SERIES INDY/COLTS against TwinDadCardCollector — the men, not the teams
TwinDadCardCollector leads it 1-0. TwinDadCardCollector won the last one.

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.
