About these numbers
The Jets' interception touchdown is counted as a Dolphins interception, not as a Jets 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.
