Catch rate says one thing, EPA says another
16 of 23 caught on third down (69.6%) — EPA/target 0.60 vs 0.18 elsewhere (8 conversions).
Catch rate is disclosed context only, never the gate — conversions and EPA/target are. Interception targets carry no attribution row at any source, so EPA/target here is unfixably, slightly inflated.
