Clutch Week 2 Decision Modeling

Early-season NFL games carry outsized playoff leverage. This simulator calculates ball flight dynamics incorporating launch angle, release velocity, air resistance, stadium crosswinds, and defender closing speed across standard red-zone defensive distributions.

Whether testing Justin Fields vs the Bears defense in Chicago, physical red-zone trench warfare in New England, or Patrick Mahomes facing Indy pressure at Arrowhead, play execution depends on precision targeting against coverage leverage.

Simulation Telemetry Rules

Pass Coverage & Catch Window

Receivers separate along their designated break routes. If the ball enters the catch cylinder within 0.8 seconds of the break while away from defensive positioning, a touchdown is awarded. Under-thrown balls face defender breakups or interceptions.

Placekick Geometry

Field goal trajectory models a standard 10-foot crossbar height with 18.5-foot wide uprights. Crosswinds introduce lateral drift, requiring kickers to adjust aim outside the hashes.

Data & Log Export

Every rep logs target vector, velocity, defensive alignment, outcome, and expected points added (EPA) delta into an accessible plain-text session report for coaches and analysts.
