HOW THEY PLAY
the man, not the franchise — only weeks the record attributes to him, this season
mxxviii
Vikings · his last 1 game
mxxviii has 1 game on the record so far — not enough to call it a tendency.
Jocto
Steelers · his last 1 game
Jocto has 1 game 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.
