WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needs two unsupported details removed or corrected while preserving the sourced game account. - "The result avenged two consequential defeats for San Francisco last season.": The sources say the prior 49ers-Seahawks games happened last winter, not last season. - "The victory kept the 49ers’ perfect start intact and gave them an early head-to-head advantage over their division rival.": The claim that the victory gave the 49ers an early head-to-head advantage is the writer's inference; the source only says before the game that the winner would give themselves a good shot to claim a head-to-head tiebreaker.
