THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patriots | -7.5 | -2.3 | -5.2 | +3 |
| Dolphins | -16.5 | -2.6 | -13.9 | -8 |
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
Elise Carter
The insider
Miami's offense couldn't get out of its own way—10 points is what happens when you're already drowning and nothing changes. New England's pass rush and A.J. Brown were both operating at a different level, and Drake Maye looked like the rookie everyone hoped would eventually show up.
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.
