HOW THEY PLAY
the man, not the franchise — only weeks the record attributes to him, this season
cheese
Bears · his last 1 game
cheese has 1 game on the record so far — not enough to call it a tendency.
Hydra
Packers · his last 1 game
Hydra has 1 game on the record so far — not enough to call it a tendency.
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
Hydra against cheese — the men, not the teams
cheese leads it 1-0.
cheese won the last one.

Hydra 21 — 38 cheese
CHEESE
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.
