Atlanta Falcons 13, Jets 8 — with the result never quite settled.

Expected points added, per play
The centre line is an average play. A bar to the right of it is a side that gained more than the situation was worth; a bar to the left is a side that lost ground. All six bars share one scale, ±0.48 points.

Neither side “wins” volume or play-calling mix, so neither is drawn as a duel: Falcons ran 63 snaps at a 48% dropback rate against Jets’s 67 at 64%. Red-zone trips: Falcons 2, Jets 2.
NoteJets outgained Falcons 259-195 but lost the turnover battle 3-0. That was the game.

The Read
12 of 12 readings cleared their snap floor and were tested against four comparisons: this week's whole slate, the team's own season, the week before, and the team's own ordinary spread. Every bar below is set in that team's own week-to-week swing, never in league points — one team's swing runs 1.6 to 3.1 times the entire league's spread.
lowest in the league that weekAgainst the weekOver Expected
ATL's pass rate over expected, −17.5 pts, was the lowest of the 26 team-games charted in week 13 — 0.8 points clear of the next team along.
63 snaps this game, floor 20 — 17 of their games behind the ruler, and their own week-to-week swing is 6.6 points.

NYJ's blitz rate sent, 30.0%, is past their previous high of 22.5% in week 2 — the highest of their 12 charted games through week 13.

Was this normal for them?
12 of 12 readings cleared their snap floor. Every deviation below is measured in that team's own game-to-game swing, not in league points — because one game's swing runs from 1.6 to 3.1 times the whole league's spread.

Expected points are modelled in full PPR, so the “vs expected” column stays in that unit whichever format the pills are set to. Switching the pills changes the points column, not the plane.
The field map
Every snap, where it happened
The whole game as one hundred yards. The Jets attack right, the Falcons attack left, so a change of possession is a reversal you can see. Reading down is the order the snaps were played — not the clock, so a two-minute drill gets the same room as any other fourteen snaps. This game is final.
