IN THE BOOTH
Elise Carter The insider
Hurts had a 4-touchdown day and the Eagles' offense simply overpowered Miami's defense from start to finish — that's the difference between 35 and 21.
Priya Hale The superfan · replying
Philadelphia's defense let Miami hang around way longer than they should have—21 points is too many when you're playing a team that looks this overmatched, and the Phins found soft spots underneath all afternoon.
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.

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.
