What am I looking at?
  • Individual refs: stats for one official across all Colts games they worked, even with different partners.
  • Ref crews: stats when the same seven officials worked together on the Colts games (8+ games shown by default).
  • Team baseline: the Colts went 65-68 (48.9%) 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 Colts.

Ref×team W-L rebuilt from 2283 ESPN game logs. 4544/5864 ref×team pairs meet the 3+ game matrix gate. Official names canonicalized (122 slots); 0 reverse-name ghosts removed.
