THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chargers | +15.6 | +9.6 | +6.0 | +4 |
| Chiefs | +23.7 | +4.3 | +19.4 | +16 |
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.
