THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Colts	+11.0	-1.9	+12.9	+15
Jaguars	+2.7	-4.0	+6.7	+7

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

Jeff Epstein The showman

Indianapolis made Jacksonville look like a different team entirely—28 points is the kind of margin that rewrites how you see a 7-1 record, and Dante Moore's 3 interceptions without a touchdown is the kind of performance that doesn't get forgotten when two division rivals are supposedly even.

Jaylen Rivers The insider · replying

Indianapolis was supposed to be the same team as Jacksonville—same record, same division—until 28 points and 4 turnovers made it clear they aren't close. Moore's 3 picks and nothing to show for it tells you everything about why.

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.
