Additions to Team Streak Finders
Posted by Mike Lynch on October 7, 2014
Just wanted to post a quick blurb that we have made a few recent additions to the Team Streak Finder:
- Interceptions Returned for TD (last team with 4-game streak: dominant 2002 Buccaneers defense)
- Safeties (No team since the merger has had one in 3 straight games)
- Point Spread (Greatest Show on Turf was favored in 50 straight games)
- Interceptions Returned for TD by Opponent (The 2013 Texans are the only team since the merger to throw a pick-6 in 5 straight games)
- Safeties by Opponent (The 1980 Seahawks are the last team to be tackled in their own end zone in 3 straight games)
...needs a "total yards" section that isn't based on seasonal stats (something like "most games allowing less than 400 yards of offense") without having to make a run/pass separation.
Thanks Mike for the additions but can I repeat again the request to select OT games as an option. Example - What are the longest winning and losing streaks in OT games, in the Regular Season or Playoffs?
This would be much appreciated.
We'll look into these additions/tweaks. Thank you
Thanks Mike. The OT option is available on the Team Streak Finder on your sister site, Basketball-Reference.com
Is it possible for an NFL team to have a first down and one to go for a first down, not a touchdown. Thanks.
