WEEK 8 · FINAL
THE READ

The numbers guy
Eagles run away with it, 31-0
Philadelphia dismantled Miami 31-0, a differential so complete it barely qualifies as competitive. Saquon Barkley ran 14 times for 211 yards and 2 touchdowns, operating against a defense that allowed 228 rushing yards total while generating only 7 of their own. The Dolphins managed 48 yards of offense, turned the ball over 3 times, and watched Malik Willis throw 3 interceptions with no touchdowns. The Eagles improved to 7-1; Miami fell to 0-7.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagles | +11.3 | -4.3 | +15.6 | +15 |
| Dolphins | -16.1 | +1.3 | -17.4 | -7 |
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
Devon Walker
Beat reporter
Saquon Barkley ran for 211 yards and 2 touchdowns on 14 carries, and that was the game—Miami had 7 rushing yards total and couldn't move the ball enough to stay on the field.

Miami's defense managed only 2 sacks and couldn't generate meaningful pressure, and when you're giving up 353 yards total while generating almost nothing on your own, that's a unit playing without answers.
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.
