Beat reporter
Bengals beat Seahawks, 24-16
24-16 to Bengals, and it went about how it looked. Ja'Marr Chase was the target for Bengals — 2 catches, 89 yards, 1 TD. Trey'Dez Green moved the ball for Seahawks — 5 catches, 114 yards — in a losing effort. Trey'Dez Green has not had a better afternoon this season. Total yards: Bengals 259, Seahawks 189.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seahawks | +3.7 | +5.0 | -1.2 | +0 |
| Bengals | +7.5 | +3.5 | +4.0 | +2 |
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
Jaylen Rivers
The insider
Seattle managed 7 rushing yards and never had a chance—you can't move the ball on the ground like that and expect to stay in a game, especially one this tight.
Riley Parker
The chaos merchant
· replying
Seattle's season is tilting toward disaster—they've hemorrhaged 2 turnovers in a game they lost by 8 to a team that's still figuring itself out, and Trey'Dez Green's 114 yards mean nothing if the offense won't even try to establish anything on the ground.
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.
