Colts -9.8 +4.4 -14.2 -5
Jaguars +1.4 -0.6 +2.0 +0
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
Nicole Santos Beat reporter
Trevor Lawrence's 317 yards and 2 touchdowns against Indianapolis's 206 passing yards decided this one—Jacksonville's air attack created the margin that the Colts' ground game couldn't close.
Zoe Bell The contrarian · replying
Indianapolis got beaten up front—5 sacks allowed versus 2 delivered—and the Colts' ground game (111 yards) couldn't compensate for what was happening in the pocket at 1-8 and heading nowhere.
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.

Ant has 3 games on the record so far — not enough to call it a tendency.
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 Ant against wonka — the men, not the teams
wonka leads it 1-0. wonka 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.
