THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eagles | -6.8 | -0.8 | -6.0 | +0 |
| Giants | +10.8 | -3.9 | +14.7 | +16 |
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
Philadelphia needed Saquon Barkley to win this one—184 yards and 4 rushing touchdowns while Jalen Hurts threw 4 picks and Jonathan Greenard buried New York's line—and that is exactly what happened, but a quarterback playing like that cannot keep doing it and still have a job.

New York's pass protection got shredded—12 sacks will kill you—but Jaxson Dart still found ways to move the ball downfield while Philadelphia's defense was feasting. The Giants are built to win; this was an outlier loss on a night their line couldn't hold.
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.
