Charting
Where the ball goes, read from the play-by-play: air yards, yards after the catch, run direction, pressure and tempo. Ranks run highest to lowest
Partial season. ESPN's play-by-play has throw and catch spots for 6 of this team's 7 games, so the maps and air-yard numbers cover those games only. Ranks compare teams on whatever each had charted.
