Slobberknockers: no legal lineup sums to 61, so these eight are a BEST-EFFORT guess - the closest legal lineup drawn from the reconstructed roster, 16 points under the recorded score. A player who really started is missing from the roster, so treat the names as unproven rather than reconstructed.
Mandela: reconstructed from 36 legal lineups that sum to 33. 2 of 8 slots appear in every one of them and are certain; the rest were chosen by keeper status, season points, and starts already proven.

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.
