  1. Philadelphia rank 19th against intermediate throws, which make up 31% of Lamb's targets.
  2. Work the left side: 40% of his targets go that way and Philadelphia 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.
