THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ravens | +17.7 | +2.6 | +15.1 | +8 |
| Seahawks | +24.0 | +2.4 | +21.6 | +33 |
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
This was a track meet, and Baltimore just barely won the arms race. Jadarian Price ran through them for 188 yards and 3 touchdowns, and it still wasn't enough—Lamar Jackson matched him with 3 rushing scores of his own, and that 43-39 finish tells you everything about who had the last say.

Baltimore's margin-adjusted rating of 30.0 sits level with Seattle's 30.5, but here's what matters: the Ravens' 91.6 expected win rate says this team is built to close out tight games, while Seattle's 84.9 suggests variance will haunt them down the stretch—and a 4-point loss to an undefeated team on the road might be the first evidence of it.

Baltimore won a shootout where it had to—Jackson threw 2 interceptions but still put up 314 yards, and that turnover margin (6.0 versus Seattle's 17.0) is what separates a team that closes out tight games from one that doesn't, even when the other guy's running back is unstoppable.
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.
