THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commanders | -1.0 | -3.2 | +2.2 | -4 |
| Eagles | +11.0 | -4.6 | +15.6 | +15 |
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
Washington won a game it had no business winning — Jayden Daniels threw 3 interceptions and the Commanders coughed it up 4 times total, yet Philadelphia's complete inability to run the ball (25 yards) forced them to abandon balance entirely and play into Washington's hands.

Washington's defense was so suffocating that it didn't matter — Jayden Daniels threw 3 picks and the Commanders coughed it up 4 times, and Philadelphia's 25 rushing yards were so pathetic the Eagles never had a prayer to stay in it.
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.
