Can’t find this online anywhere
Frustrated Raiders fan here. I feel like 80% of our play calls are HB draws out of the gun. I was curious to know if there was any site to see how frequently we run them and where we rank compared to the rest of the league.
Preferably the one that would give me the earliest reports.
Does anybody have any stats on punt return and kick return fumble recovery percentages? From my years of watching games I think the team that fumbled is much less likely to recover on a punt or kick return than on a non-special teams play. On a non-special teams play I think the fumble recovery percentage is around 53%.
Anyone here have experience with sportradar nfl api for pulling data. I want to build it into my website and know a little about costs and if it includes next gen stats. Also if i could pull weird stats like “first player with atleast x,y,z since player in year woth x,y,z stats etc.
I'm looking for a website similar to this Red Zone Stats one, but for first quarter player stats. Ideally would be game-by-game/week-by-week like the Red Zone website
Anyone know of any site like this?
Is there a dataset that has all team data; passing yards, points, turnovers for 2024. All the dataset I've looked at are play by play and I dont want to have sort all that data.
Is there anywhere that has a list of players and how many confirmed concussions they have had?
If this isn't the place for this, please direct me the right way.
I'm hoping for someone to identify how many times (or what instances) the following occured
Jags unsuccessfully tried to convert a 4th down
AND
They were within a 55 yard field goal range
AND
The opposing team got points off of the successful turnover on downs.
Come on, I'm a Jags fan..I have so little in life.
It seems like a fairly traditional offense is to run, run, pass, then either punt or repeat if first down is achieved. This version feels sort of intuitively correct.
Would there be any statistical difference if a team instead tried pass, run, run?
I was having a conversation about Manning and Brady, and I was going to say although Manning had better receivers early in his career, Brady had a better line. I realized though I have no way of proving that. Post 2006 I can use PFF to compare pressures, P2S% and all that other stuff but I cant do that for 2001-2005. Sacks and sack% are more reflective of the QB, so that wouldn’t work. Is there any statistical way of researching that or do I just need to go back and watch film?
I am trying to find a site that lists who was the field on a particular play.
I am trying to look at every snap that George Pickens played against the Cowboys but since he only played 59% of the snaps, I do not want to look at every all-22 play.
Tried posting this in r/nfl but it was removed by mods. Like the title asks, I'm wondering where I can find the "win rate" stats for all NFL linemen (pass-block & run-block for offensive linemen, pass-rush & run-stop for defensive linemen) on a week-to-week basis. Ex: What was Jets OT Olu Fashanu's pass-block win rate in Week 4 against the Broncos?
ESPN keeps updated lists of the top 20 players in each win-rate category, but only includes their season total win-rate, not their week-to-week win-rates for each game; additionally, there's no way to search for other players who are not in the current top 20. They also include overall team win-rate rankings. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41040723/2024-nfl-win-rates-top-teams-players-rankings
I feel like I've checked everywhere for this, to no avail. Couldn't find anything on Reddit, ESPN, NFL.com, NextGenStats, Pro Football Reference, PlayerProfiler, or the free version of Pro Football Focus (PFF). Do I need to pay for PFF+ to access win-rate stats for any player? Or does ESPN gate-keep these advanced statistics since they're the ones who invented them?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
What field goal distance has been kicked the most in the history of the NFL. Not the average but the actual amount kicked.
I am pretty new to the scene and was wondering if there is a downloadable file with all the box scores that gets updated weekly for this year? I am trying to do some basic stat-tracking.
I looked through some previously suggested files/sites and they were not quite what I was looking for.
Hey everyone,
I was curious if there was a free college stats API? I know sleeper has one for NFL but didn't know if they (or someone else) provides CFB stats.
I am working on a project that needs a list of every time the officials go to the booth for a replay/challenge. Does anybody know a place to get this info?
Thought this subreddit would be a good place to share this...
