About these numbers
The Saints' fumble touchdown is counted as a Titans lost fumble, not as a Saints 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.
