During the 2012 regular season, NFL quarterbacks attempted more than
19,000 passes and completed more than 11,500; the chart above shows the
location of nearly every pass. Dots are placed in spots nearby the
receiver or the intended receiver. In the cases of out-of-bounds
throwaways, those dots are placed at the sideline near where the ball
went out of bounds. The color of the dot corresponds to the league’s
overall completion percentage in that zone.
