Chargers -12.5 +1.2 -13.7 -10
Lions +12.3 -3.5 +15.8 +18
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
Jordan Hayes The armchair coach
Los Angeles couldn't move the football and couldn't protect it—33 rushing yards and 3 giveaways tells you the Chargers need to establish literally anything on the ground before they throw it 25 times into a meat grinder again.
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.

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.
