THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Falcons -4.0 +0.8 -4.8 -5
Colts -1.5 -2.8 +1.3 +10
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
Indianapolis won this game the way it's supposed to win: Taylor punished Atlanta on the ground for 108 yards and a touchdown, and the Colts didn't beat themselves—0 turnovers against Atlanta's 1. That margin is thin, but it's built on discipline, not luck.
Caleb Brooks Beat reporter · replying
Drake London kept Atlanta in this one—2 touchdowns on 8 catches—but the Falcons couldn't overcome a 3-turnover swing that mattered in a 3-point game. Indianapolis' discipline won it, not dominance.
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 TDS-_-IamQ against INDY/COLTS — the men, not the teams
INDY/COLTS leads it 1-0. INDY/COLTS 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.
