THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jets | -3.7 | +2.1 | -5.8 | -6 |
| Lions | -0.8 | -2.3 | +1.5 | -3 |
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
Riley Parker
The chaos merchant
New York came out and threw 29 times against a Lions defense that sacked them once, which is a choice that gets you 7 points and a 28-point hole; Justin Fields's 4 touchdown passes is the kind of afternoon you regret forever in week 3.

Detroit's looking like the team that was always going to be here come fall, and New York just got a reminder that 1-2 isn't a place you come back from easy. Fields had the day that changes how people think about him going forward.
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.
