WEEK 7 · FINAL
THE READ
Packers win the turnover battle and the game
Take care of the football or lose. Rams did not, and did. Jordan Love threw for Packers — 23/34, 264 yards, 1 TD. Justin Fields threw for Rams — 17/24, 250 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Three weeks of this now from Kyren Williams: 99 rushing yards a game, well clear of his 61 average. Total yards: Packers 437, Rams 359.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Packers | +8.6 | +2.0 | +6.5 | +18 |
| Rams | +2.7 | +5.5 | -2.7 | -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
Elise Carter
The insider
Green Bay won the turnover battle, and at 33-23 that margin decided everything—the Packers are in the field at 7-3 while Los Angeles, despite both backs running at their best this year, sits at 6-4 looking in.

Los Angeles is still in the hunt at 6-4, but Fields throwing 2 picks against a team that doesn't sack anybody puts them in a spot where they can't afford many more mistakes down the stretch.
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.

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.
