THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagles | -6.8 | -0.8 | -6.0 | +0 |
| Buccaneers | -13.4 | -2.5 | -10.9 | -8 |
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
Zoe Bell
The contrarian
The Buccaneers outgained Philadelphia by 59 yards and still lost by 6—that's what happens when you give it away 3 times instead of once. Baker Mayfield had more air yards and Egbuka was open all day, but giveaways don't show up in yardage totals, and they're why Tampa Bay stays 0-13.
Jordan Hayes
The armchair coach
· replying
This is exactly what Tampa Bay's season has looked like—they're generating enough to win but self-destructing faster than they can execute. The Bucs are 0-13 because they keep doing this.
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.
