The read
  1. Las Vegas rank 30th against short throws, which make up 54% of Smith-Njigba's targets.
  2. Work the middle: 24% of his targets go that way and Las Vegas rank 25th defending throws there.
  3. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
