Money down
18 of 24 caught on third down (75.0%) — EPA/target 1.35 vs 0.84 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.
