THE READ

Beat reporter
Seahawks beat Browns, 31-13
31-13 to Seahawks, and it went about how it looked. Jalen Milroe threw for Seahawks — 21/29, 310 yards, 2 TD. Maverick Baranowski lived in the backfield for Seahawks — 3.5 sacks. Jalen Milroe has now cleared 250 passing yards in 6 in a row. Total yards: Seahawks 448, Browns 283.
THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seahawks | +24.0 | +2.4 | +21.6 | +33 |
| Browns | -7.0 | +2.3 | -9.3 | -11 |
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
Sierra Vaughn
Analyst
Cleveland's offensive line collapsed—6 sacks allowed means Shedeur Sanders spent the afternoon under siege, and when your quarterback can't set his feet, 214 yards is what you get against a Seattle defense playing like the 1st seed it is.

This wasn't an outlier—it was the gap closing. Seattle's 1 seed plays like it, Cleveland's 2-12 record plays like it, and Maverick Baranowski just reminded the room why the Seahawks' defense has been the difference all season.
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.
