THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jets | -3.7 | +2.1 | -5.8 | -6 |
| Bears | +5.5 | +1.4 | +4.1 | +8 |
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
Talia Morgan
Beat reporter
This was a slog that the Jets won by simply showing up. Chicago managed 6 points and 50 rushing yards—an offense that looked completely stuck—while David Bailey's 3 sacks kept the Bears' quarterback under constant duress.

Chicago's still in a playoff spot at 5-4, but this is the kind of loss that haunts you down the stretch—an offense that generated 82 passing yards and 50 on the ground simply cannot sustain itself, and if that's what you're bringing to Week 4, you're already behind on fixing 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.
