WEEK 5 · FINAL
THE READ
Eagles run away with it, 41-20
Eagles 41, Falcons 20, and it was not that close. Jayden Maiava was steady for Eagles — 13/18, 245 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT. Ryan Wingo did the catching for Eagles — 4 catches, 138 yards, 2 TD. Ryan Wingo's high-water mark for the year. Through the air: Eagles 245, Falcons 130.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagles | +11.0 | -4.6 | +15.6 | +15 |
| Falcons | -4.0 | +0.8 | -4.8 | -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
Daniel Keller
The numbers guy
Philadelphia's air game made this one feel decided early: Jayden Maiava threw 4 touchdown passes on 13 completions, and Ryan Wingo's 138 receiving yards gave the Eagles a 245-to-130 advantage through the air that Atlanta had no answer for. That gap is the whole game.

Atlanta got run over on the ground—112 yards to 92—and still lost by 21, which tells you everything about how thoroughly Philadelphia controlled what mattered: the Eagles didn't need to win at anything except the one thing that decides games.
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.
