The items of note here:

- Injuries are not higher on special teams plays than on normal plays. That investigation prompted this stuff.
- Offensive success definitely declines as weather gets worse. "Successful Plays" decline across the board, although rushing success is worst in stormy conditions, interceptions worst in straight rain. Snow is the worst for throwing the ball, as yardage goes way down, and any kind of weather is a big detriment to rushing yards per carry (down about 10% for rain/snow, and 25% for stormy).

This is interesting, thanks. I've often wondered about the influence of different weather conditions. Looks like you're better off passing when it's stormy, you're screwed when it's snowy.

Wow! This is awesome stuff, Greg!
