10 calls in week 9, and the call never flipped between PLAY and SIT. Each lead time is the one that call actually had when it was written — never recounted from now. A call that changes is the record working: new evidence arrived and we said so, in public, before the game.
Named inactive in week 1
The team's own list. We held it after kickoff, so it could NOT have informed a call. Matched to him by his player id.
