THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jets | +1.8 | -2.0 | +3.8 | +7 |
| Texans | -2.5 | -0.9 | -1.6 | -9 |
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
Daniel Keller
The numbers guy
New York had too much gas. Byrum Brown went 14 for 21 with 3 touchdowns and didn't need volume—Cam Coleman did the work, 151 yards on 4 catches—while Houston's pass-heavy approach (69 percent) couldn't generate enough separation. The Jets won the efficiency battle and didn't leave points on the field.

New York's 3-0 start isn't a mirage—they've got the structural stuff to sustain it, and Houston at 1-2 doesn't have the margin to figure things out at leisure in a conference that thin.
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.
