THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dolphins | -16.1 | +1.3 | -17.4 | -7 |
| Steelers | -12.1 | -1.6 | -10.5 | -5 |

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.
