Commissioner records remain authoritative for final standings and playoff finish. ESPN’s recovered archive supplies this season’s weekly team scores, opponents, playoff scoreboards and draft board. Weekly Grudge player lineups and transactions are not available before 2018; NFL player production is reconstructed separately where the Player archive can support it.
