How to read this chart
The tiles:
career totals: games, flags a game compared with each season's average (+ = more), how often the home team won and covered the spread, how often games went over the betting total, and the share of flags on the home team, each next to the league figure.
The bars:
one per season. Up (yellow) = he called more flags a game than the league did that year; down (blue) = fewer. Taller = further from average. Comparing with each year matters because flag rates change with the rules.
The four boxes below:
pass interference, holding, roughing and pre-snap fouls, per game above (+) or below (−) the season average.
