THE READ
Raiders run away with it, 30-0

Raiders 30, Bengals 0. Las Vegas controlled this one through the air, 167 to 105, and Cincinnati never recovered from Joe Burrow's 4 interceptions, one of several ways the Bengals manufactured 4 turnovers against a Raiders team that committed none. Chase Brown ran for 105 yards on 11 carries—efficient, wasted—while Ja'Marr Chase managed only 3 catches for 68 yards, held well below his season average of 72. Mike Washington Jr. carried the Raiders offense on the ground with 19 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown, enough to pace a 30-point margin that never narrowed.

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.

Cincinnati got blanked because Burrow threw 4 interceptions into a Raiders defense that didn't need to blitz—Las Vegas' 8-point SRS advantage and a 12-point turnover edge meant this was over before kickoff mattered.
Caleb Brooks Beat reporter · replying
Cincinnati had 100 yards on the ground and couldn't get out of its own way—Chase Brown ran for 105 yards but Burrow's 4 picks meant the Bengals were chasing from the start, and you don't win a shootout you're losing 30-0.
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.
