THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giants | +10.8 | -3.9 | +14.7 | +16 |
| Patriots | -7.5 | -2.3 | -5.2 | +3 |
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.

Malachi Fields was the difference. 3 touchdown catches on 5 receptions is not a coincidence when a team scores 45—that's efficiency at the point where games get decided.

This is what the Giants are, and what New England isn't. Dart's 4 touchdown passes and Skattebo's 110 yards on the ground—both in line with how they've looked the last few weeks—show a team that's found its rhythm; the Pats got outmuscled at every level and stayed that way.
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.
