That's definitely a tidbit that will have some wanting more context! Article is sourced, neutral, and clear of copyvio. Hook details are present in the article and the cited source. All good on the other DYK requirements! I wasn't familiar with Close Call Sports before reading this article, but from a quick Google search it seems their stats/analysis has been cited frequently by larger news outlets.
