What am I looking at?
- Individual refs: stats for one official across all Lions games they worked, even with different partners.
- Ref crews: stats when the same seven officials worked together on the Lions games (5+ games shown by default).
- Team baseline: the Lions went 15-4 (78.9%) across this sample. Ref and crew win rates show how they compare to that team average.
- Whistle differential: flag differential. A positive number means opponents are flagged more often than the Lions.
