IN THE BOOTH
Jordan Hayes The armchair coach
Tennessee turned the ball over 4 times and got nothing on the ground with 38 rushing yards—that's a recipe for a 33-point loss, and Cam Ward's 4 interceptions didn't help matters. The Titans have to clean up the giveaways before this becomes a real problem.
Ethan Price The numbers guy · replying
Chimere Dike was Tennessee's only functional receiver—4 catches, 68 yards—which tells you everything about what Ward had to work with when the run game vanished.
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.

HOW THEY PLAY the man, not the franchise — only weeks the record attributes to him, this season
Duke
Texans · his last 1 game
Duke has 1 game on the record so far — not enough to call it a tendency.
Lilchiefbetta
Titans · his last 1 game
Lilchiefbetta 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 Lilchiefbetta against Duke — the men, not the teams
Duke leads it 1-0. Duke won the last one.
1 meeting avg 8.0 — 41.0 biggest: 33 pts to Duke

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.
