IN THE BOOTH
Ava Collins Beat reporter
Jacksonville's pass rush was relentless—6 sacks wrecked Atlanta's afternoon and kept the Falcons off-balance all day. When your quarterback is eating dirt that much, scheme and talent up front don't matter.
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.
