Sports Reference Blog

We've added advanced splits to our existing player splits pages, breaking down passing, rushing, and receiving performances by down, distance, score differential, quarter, and more, for every year from 1998 to 2014. Did you know that..

• In his career, Tom Brady has 105 rushing attempts on 3rd/4th and short for 95 first downs
• In 2012, Adrian Peterson had the majority of his rushing attempts and yards on first down
• In 2014, Calvin Johnson has been targeted 5 times in the red zone and has one catch

Note that you can always slice & dice the play-by-play data to your heart's content using our play finder tool, and we're also working on adding further splits, such as playing surface, weather, point spread, and more. If you have any suggestions, let us know in the comments below.
