THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Packers | +12.5 | -1.0 | +13.4 | +6 |
| 49ers | -7.0 | +6.0 | -13.0 | -5 |
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.

IN THE BOOTH
Sierra Vaughn
Analyst
San Francisco's passing game—326 yards and 4 touchdowns from Purdy, with De'Zhaun Stribling untouchable for 190 yards and 3 scores—simply overwhelmed Green Bay's defense in a way the rest of the stat sheet cannot capture: the Packers matched the 49ers in sacks and turnovers, but got outgained 513 to 310 because one offense moved the ball through the air at will and the other could not.

Green Bay's 2-1 record is now a mirage—losing by 24 at home to a team that came in 1-2 tells you everything about which one actually belongs in this conversation.
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.

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.
