Add covering player(s) to Play by Play

There is a lot of information in the Play By Play sentences. However, one thing that is missing for passing plays and would be helpful is to list which player(s) are covering the receiver.

Examples (suggested text to add in italics):

8-Timothy Kling pass complete to 88-Wallace Doucette to PHX 36 for 16 yards. Coverage by 55-Mark Wood.

8-Timothy Kling pass incomplete, intended for 88-Wallace Doucette. Coverage by 55-Mark Wood.

You can tell by watching the plays and seeing the numbers. It wouldn't hurt having that in the play by play but it could seem a bit crowded possibly.

Watching the game is useful, too, but having to zoom in and look at the jersey number for every play would be too time consuming.

I can usually tell without zooming in, although I guess it depends on how far out you like to zoom. I keep mine close to the default.
