517,000+ NFL Plays

With 2,500 more added each Tuesday during the season.

February 6th, 2012: Big, big changes are coming for the 2012 edition of the raw data. Players will now be assigned distinct ID's while the data itself will come in both CSV format and a MySQL relational arrangement consisting of 25 linked tables. 300 extra plays between 2000 and 2011 that were missing have been added while yardage calculations on plays where fumbles and penalties adjusted the gain or loss are now 100% accurate. Look for the new files in mid-February!
