THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Chiefs +0.8 -0.9 +1.7 +2
Raiders -11.8 +1.7 -13.5 -16
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
Sephen A. Smith The showman
Las Vegas had Kenneth Walker playing the best football of his season and still couldn't finish—that's the kind of loss that haunts you when you're 1-3, because the script was there and the execution wasn't.
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 Psychthedelic against drippin_flash10 — the men, not the teams
Psychthedelic leads it 1-0. Psychthedelic 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.
