What am I looking at?
Individual refs: stats for one official across all Vikings games they worked, even with different partners.
Team baseline: the Vikings went 100-1-69 (58.8%) across this sample. Ref 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 Vikings.
