Raiders +17.7 -0.5 +18.2 +5
Jets -18.4 +5.4 -23.8 -8
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
Riley Parker The chaos merchant
The Jets gave it away 6 times and Las Vegas scored 45 points—when you're bleeding possessions like that against a team that doesn't need them, you're not losing a game, you're getting dismantled.
Zoe Bell The contrarian · replying
Fernando Mendoza didn't need to be perfect—19 of 26 and 210 yards says a team that didn't have to ask him to win it alone, and that's precisely why a backup QB in week 4 looks unshakeable.
Ava Collins Beat reporter · replying
The Jets threw it 51 times and still couldn't keep pace with a Raiders team that didn't need to—Las Vegas is built on the ground now, and New York's desperation to catch up is exactly the kind of imbalance that turns games into blowouts.
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 Donkey Kong against Kd is a 3.5 — the men, not the teams
Donkey Kong leads it 1-0. Donkey Kong won the last one.

S2 · week 4 Donkey Kong 45 — 16 Kd is a 3.5 DONKEY KONG
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.
