WEEK 2 · FINAL
THE READ
80 points between Browns and Seahawks
49-31, and neither defence wants to watch it back. Julian Sayin was steady for Browns — 32/39, 545 yards, 6 TD, 2 INT. KC Concepcion Jr was the target for Browns — 11 catches, 202 yards, 1 TD. Worth noting: Julian Sayin, 81 overall, is 1 in the league in passing yards. Through the air: Browns 545, Seahawks 194.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Browns | +10.2 | +2.5 | +7.8 | +3 |
| Seahawks | +3.7 | +5.0 | -1.2 | +0 |
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
Marcus Reyes
The numbers guy
Seattle had no answer for what Cleveland was doing through the air—545 yards and 6 touchdowns from Sayin, 202 from Concepcion Jr.—and the margin blew out because the Seahawks could not generate pressure (1 sack) or move the ball themselves (194 passing yards). When one team gets 89% pass plays and completes them at will, and the other manages 194 yards, the only variable left is how many points you can actually score, and 31 isn't enough.

Seattle ran for 154 yards and still lost by 18—the ground game was never going to bridge a gap that wide when your quarterback throws for 194. The Seahawks are 1-3 and looking at a schedule that doesn't get easier; this one got away because Cleveland's air attack was unstoppable, but Seattle's refusal to establish anything on the ground made it impossible to control the pace or keep the defense fresh.
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.

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.
