Catch rate says one thing, EPA says another
10 of 15 caught on third down (66.7%) — EPA/target 0.35 vs 0.27 elsewhere (4 conversions).
Catch rate is disclosed context only, never the gate — conversions and EPA/target are. Interception targets carry no attribution row at any source, so EPA/target here is unfixably, slightly inflated.
