The read
  1. Atlanta rank 27th against intermediate throws, which make up 25% of Flowers's targets.
  2. Work the middle: 28% of his targets go that way and Atlanta rank 24th defending throws there.
  3. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 86th percentile for separation and 14th for hands, and DeAundre Alford, AJ Terrell and C.J. Henderson all allow 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.
