NFL​

Definition Changes​

tackles = Number of tackles credited
New formula: tacklesSolo + tacklesAssisted + tacklesSpecialTeam + tacklesAssistedSpecialTeam

tacklesAssisted = Number of tackle assists in non kicking plays
tacklesSolo = Number of tackles in non kicking plays

New Statistics​

tacklesSpecialTeams = Number of tackles credited in kicking plays
tacklesAssistedSpecialTeams = Number of tackle assists in kicking plays

Advanced Statistics​

New endpoint in the Statistics API that delivers NFL’s NextGenStats (NGS) live for players at the fixture level. Each statistic is derived from NFL’s proprietary NGS system to enhance your boxscore and player specific offerings.

Feed Behavior change​

In order to maximize confirmation period of statistics, each statistic will be marked “confirmed” at the end of the play until the following “snap.” Once the snap occurs, the statistics are updated live, but only marked confirmed at the conclusion of the play.
