How it is applied
floors at zero — -40 rushing yards scores 0, not a negative - no rule pays out below zero in this era.
whole points — Weekly totals are whole numbers. CBS carried no fractional total before 2020.
raw points allowed — Every point the NFL team conceded is charged, however it was scored.
