Problem

The Baltimore Ravens won the American football championship in 2013. In the same season, the Kansas City Chiefs had a record of 2 wins and 14 losses.
The dot plots below show the 40-yard dash times (in seconds) of the defensive backs on each team's roster. Defensive backs mainly defend against passes, and the 40-yard dash is the main measure of speed used in American football.
Which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (Remember that lower 40-yard dash times are faster.)
