QB on the field

Replays show the ball path from the snap spot to the charted spot; no formation or routes are drawn (none charted).

Success = 40% of the yards needed on 1st down, 60% on 2nd, all of it on 3rd and 4th. Explosive = a run of 10+ or a pass play of 20+ yards (the play-by-play definitions; Week 7's film grids use 12+ / 16+). Source: the ESPN play-by-play, scrimmage plays only. There is no result column (touchdown, interception, fumble), so results are not shown. Formation, personnel, motion, coverage, front, blitz and hash were not charted for this week, so replays show only the ball path and those sections are hidden. [2]
