What is Cover 3 Rate?

Cover 3 rate is the percentage of a defense's coverage snaps played with the deep field split into thirds between two corners and a single high safety. It is the league's most common zone shell, strong against the deep ball and the run, and most often attacked underneath and on out-breaking routes at intermediate depth.
