Money down · 3rd-down role
Money down
14 of 21 caught on third down (66.7%) — EPA/target 0.86 vs 0.19 elsewhere (12 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.
