THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commanders | -12.7 | -1.6 | -11.1 | -8 |
| Giants | +9.2 | -4.8 | +13.9 | +17 |
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
Talia Morgan
Beat reporter
The Giants ran it 45 times and never looked back—Skattebo's 108 yards on the ground set the tone early, and Washington couldn't find a rhythm on either side. New York's ground game (202 yards) buried the Commanders' defense, which managed just 115 rushing yards in return and got no sacks when it mattered most.
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.
