12 is one back two tight ends... It's a personnel package
So the first number is the amount of backs in the game and the second number is the amount of tight ends in the game.
Also, to give a scenario in which it matters schemtically... Let's say they have an H-back in the game. So the defensive coach will decide whether to count it as 20 or 11 personnel. The reason it matters is because teams intentions with an H back can be very different. And you match personnel so if they have 11 you don't want your 3-4 defense out there.
