Where the completions actually land
61.1% completion on 3rd-and-8+, but only 16.0% conversion-per-dropback — 63.6% of completions land short of the sticks.
Where completions land is fact — whether incompletions were aimed deep is intent, not recorded here, so this card counts completions only. checkdown by design
