⚠ An em dash is not a zero. A measure a team has not recorded — a fumble recovery, a punt return — has no row at the source rather than a zero, and these are categories where not happening is ordinary. Where a season total exists, every rate beside it is computed from that season’s own denominator rather than averaged across games.
