I have received several requests for nflfastR to add the number of “explosive plays” to the stats.

- `filter_out()` for dropping rows

- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools

Has there been any news since last year about NFL teams using Bluesky?

This year's #NFL divisional round feels like there are a lot of turnovers? That's correct! Counting in the 8 turnovers in the Texans @ Patriots game (so far!), there have been 17, which is tied for 3rd most since realignment!

-- 2025 NFL 🏈 Divisional Round Geo-Rooting Map --

Geo-Rooting is the concept of rooting for the geographically closest team to the current location. This map shows closest team (stadium location) by county in contiguous U.S.

Yes, you HAVE to root for your biggest rival.
I didn't make the rules.

Interview season might be the fastest-evolving news landscape in the NFL year.

Each NFL team's regular season point differential in the Super Bowl era through the 2025 season.

The Seahawks and Texans have reached new high points, while the Raiders and Jets have nearly matched their worst seasons ever.
