The read
  1. Chicago rank 23rd against deep balls, and 13% of Wilson's targets travel 20+ yards (the average WR is at 17%).
  2. Don't force short throws: they've been Wilson's worst return (-0.01 EPA a target), and Chicago are 15th there.
  3. Work the middle: 22% of his targets go that way and Chicago rank 25th defending throws there.
  4. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
