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. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Jordan Hayes The armchair coach
Atlanta couldn't move the ball on the ground at all—16 yards—and abandoned the run so completely that they passed 81% of the time, which only made it easier for Baltimore to tee off on them. When you can't establish anything downhill, you're playing right into a defense's hands.
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.
THE SERIES Travmoney against DopeIS1 — the men, not the teams
Travmoney leads it 1-0. Travmoney won the last one.

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.
