THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seahawks | +24.0 | +2.4 | +21.6 | +33 |
| Steelers | -3.0 | +2.0 | -5.0 | +4 |
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
Kayla James
The showman
Seattle made Pittsburgh look like a practice squad—a 36-14 rout that sent the Steelers home with nothing but questions. The real story is Jalen Milroe, who's now cleared 250 passing yards in 4 straight games and keeps writing himself deeper into this league's record books.

Seattle's defense matched Pittsburgh's pass rush at 3 sacks apiece, yet still dominated a 22-point spread—the real gap was Milroe's 301 yards against a Steelers passing game that managed just 196, a disparity that made the scoreline feel closer than it actually was.
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.
