Giants	+10.8	-3.9	+14.7	+16

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

Luca Santana Analyst

The Giants' ground game—156 yards and 2 touchdowns from Skattebo on 22 carries—gave Carolina no chance to keep pace; when one team runs through you like that, the other team's pass rush becomes a sideshow.

Ava Collins Beat reporter · replying

Carolina's defense gave up 264 passing yards and 4 touchdown passes to Dart, but the real problem was that the Panthers couldn't stay on the field—they went 1-for-1 in turnovers while New York went 0-for-1, and when you're asking your defense to stop a 9-3 team with the league's third-best point differential, you need more than just not beating yourself.

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.
