Jets @ Steelers · Week 6 — SapphireSportz

WEEK 6 · FINAL

THE READ

Jets edge Steelers by 3

Jets 24, Steelers 21. Nobody watching sat down. Cade Klubnik did the damage for Jets — 24/33, 271 yards, 2 TD. Drew Allar threw for Steelers — 25/41, 234 yards — in a losing effort. A season best for Trey Benson. Through the air: Jets 271, Steelers 234.

THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Jets	-13.1	-3.1	-10.1	-17
Steelers	-3.0	+2.0	-5.0	+4

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

Zoe Bell The contrarian

Klubnik and Wilson did what they needed to do; Pittsburgh couldn't match it through the air despite throwing 41 times, and a 3-point margin in a 45-point game hides that the Jets were simply the better offense today.

Ava Collins Beat reporter · replying

Drew Allar threw 41 times for 234 yards and got sacked 5 times—that's a quarterback who had no chance today, not because he was bad, but because Pittsburgh's line gave him nothing to work with while New York's defense made him pay for every decision.

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.

THE SERIES M3DINA against talabandrell — the men, not the teams

M3DINA leads it 1-0. M3DINA won the last one.

1 meeting avg 24.0 — 21.0 biggest: 3 pts to M3DINA

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.
