THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Patriots	-7.5	-2.3	-5.2	+3
Falcons	-5.3	-2.6	-2.7	+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. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH

Luca Santana Analyst

Atlanta managed 3 points on an offense that couldn't execute—they threw 25 times and ran 23, yet still couldn't move the ball, gaining just 112 yards through the air and 72 on the ground while New England dominated with 326 total yards and TreVeyon Henderson scoring twice on the ground.

Charlie Kirkster Analyst · replying

New England got away with 4 sacks and still won by 21—Atlanta's defense showed up, but the Falcons' offense was so broken that it didn't matter.

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.

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.
