THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raiders | +13.3 | -0.7 | +14.0 | +21 |
| 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
Hollis Vaughn
The superfan
Las Vegas came in as a division winner and left looking like they don't belong anywhere near the playoffs—37 points is an indictment, and a team that can't show up like that against anybody shouldn't be trusted when it matters.
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.
