THE READ

Analyst
Patriots run away with it, 63-42
21 points separated these two, and Patriots had all of them. Drake Maye threw for Patriots — 24/37, 647 yards, 7 TD, 2 INT. Fernando Mendoza threw for Raiders — 7/12, 301 yards, 4 TD — in a losing effort. That is 5 straight games over 250 for Drake Maye. Through the air: Patriots 647, Raiders 301.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raiders | -4.2 | +4.5 | -8.7 | +0 |
| Patriots | +3.3 | +3.8 | -0.5 | -6 |
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
Kayla James
The showman
Las Vegas had a day—Ashton Jeanty's 333 yards and Dont'e Thornton Jr's 232 with 3 scores will be the highlight reel they return to—but Drake Maye was a man playing a different sport, 647 yards and 7 touchdowns, and New England's 754 total yards meant the Raiders were never solving the riddle.
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
El Lano against esaias32 — the men, not the teams
esaias32 leads it 1-0.

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.
