Intense NFL statistic website

My partner David Walker and myself are going to create fantasy football projections for our project. While we were searching for different websites to pull statistics from we stumbled upon <http://www.pro-football-reference.com/>. This is by far the most intensive NFL statistical database I have ever seen. It has every single play from scrimmage since the 2000 season, player game logs since 1960, every touchdown scored since 1940, and every player season stat since 1920. The game play finder may be the most impressive tool this website has to offer.

Lets say you want to know which quarterback had the highest rating with less than 5 minutes to play in 2009?


 
 
Here the results show 72 quarterbacks that match the criteria. I ordered them descending QB rating. You can also see if you click on CSV it will convert the table into comma separated values. This tool is great for seeing how players play in certain times of the game or certain situations. So much analysis can be done! To access this just click on Play Index then from there click on Game Play Finder. So if you are wondering who is clutch in the 4th quarter this is the site to find out.
 
This site also has injury reports of every single team dating back to 2009. The site also includes college football, college basketball, NBA, NHL, MLB, and Olympic stats. I have found pro football reference to be very useful. Hopefully you can find value in this site as well.
