THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commanders | -11.0 | -1.4 | -9.6 | -7 |
| Eagles | -6.8 | -0.8 | -6.0 | +0 |
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
Saquon Barkley had the best day of his season and that was the difference—when your best player shows up like that against a team fighting for air, you're going to win, and the Eagles needed exactly that kind of performance to look like they belong in a game right now.
Elise Carter
The insider
· replying
Philadelphia got away with 58 combined points—that's not a statement about quality, that's a statement about luck. When two 2-win teams play each other, somebody has to lose, and Washington did, but neither of these teams should feel like they figured anything out.
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.
