WEEK 2 · FINAL
THE READ

Jets edge Jaguars by 3
Jets 38, Jaguars 35. Trevor Lawrence threw 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on 16 of 29 for 334 yards, but Jacksonville's 5 giveaways decided it against a New York team that ran 22 times for 260 yards and leaned on Breece Hall's 207 rushing yards. The Jaguars out-gained the Jets 423 to 366 but couldn't overcome self-inflicted wounds; Lawrence's turnover rate and Jacksonville's pass-heavy approach at 81 percent left them vulnerable to a team that stayed balanced and clean with just 2 turnovers.
THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jaguars | +7.8 | -2.1 | +9.9 | +14 |
| Jets | +1.2 | -2.6 | +3.8 | +7 |
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
Luca Santana
Analyst
Jacksonville had the better offense on paper — 334 passing yards to 106, total yards advantage — but Trevor Lawrence threw 4 interceptions and the Jaguars coughed it up 5 times total, which is the only number that mattered in a 3-point loss to a Jets team that leaned on Breece Hall's 207 rushing yards and took care of the ball.

New York won a game it had no business winning — Jacksonville out-gained them 423 to 366 and Lawrence threw 4 touchdown passes, but the Jets took a 3-point win anyway because the Jaguars couldn't stop giving the ball away.
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.

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.
