THE READ

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dolphins | +17.2 | +4.0 | +13.2 | +10 |
| 49ers | +11.6 | -1.4 | +13.0 | +9 |
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
Jaylen Rivers
The insider
Brock Purdy threw 7 touchdowns and 521 yards against a Miami defense that couldn't touch him—the 49ers moved at will for 658 yards and the Phins turned it over 6 times trying to keep pace, which tells you everything about who showed up today.
Marcus Reyes
The numbers guy
· replying
The 49ers got away with a defense that disappeared. Three and a half sacks against a Miami team that threw 37 times—that's not a defense showing up, that's a team that couldn't get home when it had to.
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.

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.
