THE READ
Titans win the turnover battle and the game

Lamar Jackson threw for Ravens — 17/28, 285 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. Lamar Jackson has now cleared 250 passing yards in 4 in a row. On the ground: Ravens 63, Titans 29.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titans | -1.2 | -3.2 | +2.0 | -1 |
| Ravens | +7.6 | -7.7 | +15.2 | +10 |
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.

Tennessee won on ball security. Baltimore had 3 giveaways to the Titans' 0, and despite outgaining Tennessee 348 to 324 and running for 63 yards, those turnovers cost them the 12-point margin — Lamar Jackson's 3 interceptions were the difference between two evenly matched teams.

Baltimore's schedule softness has masked what this loss reveals: a 6.0 scoring margin that doesn't survive contact with teams that execute. The Ravens still project to win 74.5% of their remaining games, but a +4 turnover differential through 4 weeks won't hold if Lamar keeps giving it away—that edge evaporates the moment he doesn't.
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.
