THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ravens | +9.4 | -0.0 | +9.4 | -1 |
| Bears | +6.6 | -0.1 | +6.7 | +6 |
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
Nicole Santos
Beat reporter
Chicago beat itself. Caleb Williams threw 3 interceptions against a Ravens defense that didn't force much of anything, and Baltimore's 385 passing yards to the Bears' 214 made the margin feel wider than 7 points ever will.
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.
