THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dolphins | +17.2 | +4.0 | +13.2 | +10 |
| Raiders | -4.2 | +4.5 | -8.7 | +0 |
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.

IN THE BOOTH
Marcus Reyes
The numbers guy
Miami's passing game was so clean it made Las Vegas look helpless—Willis hit 386 yards and 4 touchdowns while Mendoza coughed up 3 picks and nothing, and when one team doesn't score and the other one does it 34 times, the margin writes itself.
Kayla James
The showman
· replying
Miami just announced itself as a division force—Willis's 4 touchdowns and a shutout in week 1 puts the Phins in that rare position where they can build something instead of chasing it.
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.
