THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seahawks | +12.3 | +0.6 | +11.7 | +12 |
| Cardinals | -25.4 | +2.8 | -28.1 | -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.

Arizona's turnover problem decided this one. Jacoby Brissett threw 3 interceptions with nothing to show for it, and the Cardinals coughed it up 5 times total—you don't stay in games that way. Seattle ran through them for 208 yards on the ground and scored 55 points; De'Von Achane alone accounted for 196 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns.

Seattle didn't have to be perfect—Arizona made it easy, gifting them 5 turnovers and 0 sacks while getting shut out. The Seahawks' skill talent is real, but they got away with a game plan that worked because Arizona couldn't execute anything, not because Seattle's defense was dominant.
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.
