About these numbers
The Patriots' interception touchdown is counted as a Dolphins interception, not as a Patriots possession. Possessions that ended with the clock running out at the half or the end of the game aren't counted.
Personnel groupings, average depth of target and pass rate over expected appear when the tracking feed is connected.
