THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jets | -10.4 | -3.8 | -6.6 | -16 |
| Titans | +3.8 | -0.3 | +4.1 | +12 |
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
Talia Morgan
Beat reporter
New York managed 34 total yards and couldn't run the ball—32 yards on the ground says it all. Tennessee's defense, anchored by Simmons with 4 sacks, never let them breathe, while Jonathan Taylor punched in 4 touchdowns on the ground and simply overpowered a Jets team that had nowhere to turn.

Kenyon Sadiq put up 192 yards on 5 catches—he was the only bright spot New York had all day, and in a 32-point loss, that kind of isolation tells you everything about how broken this offense really is.

Sadiq's 192 yards into a 32-point hole just underscores the real problem: New York got routed so thoroughly that even their one weapon couldn't matter. The Jets need to ask themselves whether they're actually built to compete or just built to pad individual stats in blowouts.
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.

Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

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.
