Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Broncos	+10.4	-4.8	+15.2	+13
Raiders	-11.8	+1.7	-13.5	-16

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

Marcus Reyes The numbers guy

Denver's pass rush didn't need help—Las Vegas gave it away. The Raiders coughed it up 5 times and got shredded for 7 sacks; the Broncos walked in at 48 points on pure efficiency.

Kayla James The showman · replying

Las Vegas's offensive line didn't just get beaten—it got dismantled, surrendering 7 sacks and turning the pocket into a shooting gallery while the Raiders hemorrhaged 5 turnovers; Denver's defense feasted, but somebody up front in silver and black has to answer for an afternoon that looked less like football and more like surrender.

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.
