THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chiefs | +2.1 | +1.7 | +0.4 | +10 |
| Jets | -13.1 | -3.1 | -10.1 | -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.
Full table.
IN THE BOOTH

New York's 4 turnovers decided this one—you don't beat Kansas City by giving it away that many times, and the Jets proved it.

New York's already hanging by a thread at 7-6, and this rout doesn't just cost them a game—it costs them time they don't have. Kansas City's found its rhythm with Walker running hard and Mahomes clicking; the Jets needed to steal one here and instead got exposed on both sides of the ball.
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.
