PAUL SHIELDS

Regular season and playoffs are separate tables and are never summed into one career line. Which tables appear is decided by this player’s position group, not by which columns happen to hold a number, so a running back with one career pass attempt does not acquire a passing table for it. Games played counts games with a stat line, not games dressed. A dash is an absent block rather than a recorded zero: some older weekly files carry no offensive block at all, and a zero would credit an attempt that was never made. Passer rating is the NFL’s own formula and is shown only where attempts exist. Sacks carry a half. The per-play table, where it appears, is a narrower window than everything above it — the play log covers 2020 to 2025 only — and counts plays this player is named on, which is not the same as snaps: the log names a passer, a rusher and a receiver, and nobody else on the field. Kicking points are complete; field-goal makes and attempts are present on 1,054 of 450,176 rows and are not shown.
