Money down
17 of 20 caught on third down (85.0%) — EPA/target 2.04 vs 0.53 elsewhere (15 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.
