Yellow and grey: yellow = flags against the home team, grey = against the away team; the small numbers inside are the split.
Dashed line: the league average, 14.7 flags a game. Under the bar: away @ home, week and final score. Tap a game to open it.

One row per penalty type.: The center line is the league rate per game.
Bar to the right (×1.5, ×2.0…):: this crew calls it more often than the league; ×2.0 = twice as often.
Bar to the left (×0.5…):: calls it less often; ×0.5 = half as often. Few games, so treat single rows as hints, not proof.

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.
