THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
Titans -4.5 -1.5 -3.0 -1
Colts +9.6 +8.1 +1.5 +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. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Daniel Keller The numbers guy
Indianapolis simply didn't give the ball away—Tennessee did it twice—and that 2-turnover gap erased what should have been a competitive game on paper.
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.
THE SERIES Do your parents love you against Nonoredd — the men, not the teams
Nonoredd leads it 1-0. Nonoredd won the last one.

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.
