How to read it

DAxT credits whoever made the final action, not whoever forced it — and rewards teams that defend deep, because possessions ended near your own goal carry more threat.

Where this result sits

0.000.80 DAxT
Taylor Flint sits at 0.80. The middle of the 218 who qualified is 0.22, and the top tenth starts at 0.45. 117 played too few minutes to be ranked.
