THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commanders | -1.0 | -3.2 | +2.2 | -4 |
| Giants | -13.6 | +3.1 | -16.7 | -26 |
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
Washington's pass rush was the difference — 4 sacks against a Giants offense that had 454 yards and still couldn't close it out. New York had every chance to win this one.

· replying
Washington's offense finally arrived—Jayden Daniels and Antonio Williams both had their best days of the season—but the G-Men made it easy, surrendering 31 points on just 54 total in a game that never quite tightened the way New York's 454 yards threatened it might.
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.
