You can use Chat-GPT to bring your data reports to life. See the following example about how we analyzed the Cowboys D-fence performance

You can use Chat GPT to run data reports and gain insights by providing it with structured data and specific questions or instructions related to your dataset. It can help generate descriptive statistics, visualize data, and answer questions about trends, correlations, or anomalies within the data. Chat GPT can also assist in formulating hypotheses, suggesting data-driven conclusions, and explaining complex findings, making it a valuable tool for data analysis and interpretation.

Getting the data using python’s pro_football_reference_web_scraper library

import pandas as pd

from pro_football_reference_web_scraper import team_game_log as t

team = "Dallas Cowboys"

team22_game_log = t.get_team_game_log(team=team, season=2022)
team22_game_log["Season"] = "2022"
team23_game_log = t.get_team_game_log(team=team, season=2023)
team23_game_log["Season"] = "2023"
team_df = pd.concat([team22_game_log, team23_game_log], ignore_index=True, sort=False)

print(team_df)

To analyze the Cowboys’ defense leading up to Week 2 in the 2023 season, we will focus on the provided data. Specifically, we will look at their performance in terms of points allowed, total yards allowed, passing yards allowed, and rushing yards allowed in the games leading up to Week 2 in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Here’s a summary of the Cowboys’ defense performance in the relevant games for both seasons:

2022 Season (Leading up to Week 2, 2022):

  • Points Allowed (Average): 17.14
  • Total Yards Allowed (Average): 344.14
  • Passing Yards Allowed (Average): 207.71
  • Rushing Yards Allowed (Average): 136.43

2023 Season (Leading up to Week 2, 2023):

  • Total Yards Allowed (Week 1): 265
  • Passing Yards Allowed (Week 1): 143
  • Rushing Yards Allowed (Week 1): 122

Now, let’s analyze these statistics:

  1. Points Allowed:
    • In the games leading up to Week 2 in 2022, the Cowboys’ defense allowed an average of 17.14 points per game.
    • In Week 1 of the 2023 season, the Cowboys’ defense performed exceptionally well, allowing zero points (a shutout). This is a significant improvement compared to the previous season.

    • In Week 1 of the 2023 season, the Cowboys’ defense allowed only 265 total yards, which is a notable improvement in terms of yards allowed.
  3. Passing Yards Allowed:
    • In the games leading up to Week 2 in 2022, the Cowboys’ defense allowed an average of 207.71 passing yards per game.
    • In Week 1 of the 2023 season, the Cowboys’ defense allowed 143 passing yards, indicating better pass defense.

In summary, the Cowboys’ defense showed a significant improvement in the first game of the 2023 season compared to the games leading up to Week 2 in the 2022 season.

This suggests a strong start to the 2023 season for the Cowboys’ defense, but it’s essential to monitor their performance in subsequent games to assess their consistency.
