The read
  1. Indianapolis rank 21st against short throws, which make up 71% of Robinson's targets.
  2. Work the middle: 24% of his targets go that way and Indianapolis rank 23rd defending throws there.
  3. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 77th percentile for separation and 38th for hands, and Mekhi Blackmon allows fewer yards per target than the average corner (7.4).
  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.
