HOW THEY PLAY
the man, not the franchise — only weeks the record attributes to him, this season
BIRD
Saints · his last 1 game
BIRD has 1 game on the record so far — not enough to call it a tendency.
liloilspill.
Falcons · his last 2 games
liloilspill. has 2 games on the record so far — not enough to call it a tendency.
Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.
