Statistical Reasoning in Sports Project B: My Football Players Name Per. Date Track the results of one quarterback and one runner or receiver in the National Football League (NFL) The

National Football League (NFL) regular season runs from September through December. The teams play one game each week, for a total of 16 games during the regular season. Then there are playoffs for the top teams, leading to the championship, which is called the Super Bowl, in early February. In this project, first you will select one quarterback who plays almost all of their team's games, get their season totals up to now, and then track each game they play from now until the end of the regular season. You will record their pass attempts, completions, interceptions, etc., for each game and update their season totals after each game, including their updated completion percent and average gain. You will also select one runner or receiver, get their season totals up to now, and then track each game they play from now until the end of the regular season. You will record their times carried the ball, yards gained running, number of passes caught, yards gained receiving, for each game and update their season totals after each game, including their updated average gain per carry and average gain per pass. Be sure to look at the Grading Chart on the back side of this page as you do this project, to be sure that you will get the maximum credit. The key to success in this project is to update your numbers every week, not just once a month or at random intervals of time.
