THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Panthers	-10.9	-2.6	-8.3	-6
49ers	-3.8	+3.3	-7.1	+5

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

Daniel Keller The numbers guy

Carolina's ground game disappeared—43 rushing yards against a 49ers defense that wasn't even trying to stop it—which meant Bryce Young had to beat San Francisco through the air, and Tyreek Hill alone (187 yards) couldn't make that work when the rest of the offense couldn't get open.

Sierra Vaughn Analyst · replying

Christian McCaffrey's 121 yards on 19 carries—his season best—is the only reason San Francisco's offense moved at all; Brock Purdy has now averaged 167 passing yards over his last 3 games, a cliff drop from his 232 season average that suggests the 49ers' passing attack has fundamentally broken down.

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.

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.
