The average sits above the median, so a few big games are pulling it up. The median is closer to a typical night.

Across 15 regular seasons on file. Return yards are the yards he gained, not the yards the kick travelled.

His role

Share of his team's snaps
+15points of snap shareHe was playing more by the end of the season.

48% of his team's offensive snaps across his first 12 games of 2014, 62% across the last 3 — and 1.5 touches or attempts a game against 2.0.

Snap share is the coaching staff's own weekly statement about his job, and it moves before the points do. It cannot say why — injury, benching and game script all look identical here.

Below 1 was a hard schedule, above 1 an easy one, and it differs by stat. Rated on 15 of 15 regular-season games in 2014; the rest are left unadjusted rather than dropped. Playoff games are not included, because what a defence allows is measured over the league season.
