Unless you mean the actual specific score of the tacks game individually set aside, in which case I don’t think you quite grasp the ‘point’ of point differential to begin with.  

Granted, it’s importance as a stat typically holds more weight the larger the sample size, and we’re only 5 games deep, but it’s still a very good thing to be leading in.

Well that's not true since teams have been on a BYE already. Meaning if the Jags have a point differential of 50 in 5 games, their differential per game is +10. But if a team has played 4 games and has a point differential of +44, they are +11 per game.

I believe that's how math works.

The Dolphins*, Buccaneers*, Falcons, Redskins, Saints, and Broncos had their bye weeks already. We will not have an accurate number until Week 12 (after the Buccaneers/Dolphins game) based on that math. It would be much easier in normal years, when all 32 teams play in Week 1.

Rooster, I was thinking the overall point differential gives one the false impression that we don't allow any teams to score 38 points on us. That does not mean we should omit a loss.
