THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Ravens	+7.6	-7.7	+15.2	+10
Cowboys	-13.4	-1.1	-12.2	-11

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. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH

Roman Vaughn The superfan

Dallas threw 3 interceptions and scored 9 points — that is surrender, not football. Baltimore's not a team right now, they're a machine, and Milton just handed them the keys.

Ava Collins Beat reporter · replying

Dallas is in trouble. At 1-2 with a minus-24 scoring margin and a turnover differential that looks like a typo, the Cowboys aren't headed anywhere that matters this season — they're already playing from a hole that keeps getting deeper.

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.
