How these are built
Box-score numbers from the NFL's play-by-play, with snap counts from Pro Football Reference, both via nflverse. Players are filed at the same position as on the PFF page, so an edge rusher is anyone who rushes from the line and a linebacker plays off the ball. G is games played.
Updated Friday, Monday and Tuesday mornings through the season, after the Thursday, Sunday and Monday games.
