The data is readily available; there was essentially no evidence that a team suddenly plays better after a ‘big’ play.

There was actually a discussion about this on Movin' The Chains yesterday, after they talked to Scott Zolak.  They were going off on the fact that there are actually analytic people who don't think there is a human element to the games; i.e. momentum and energy.  The data is flat out incorrect.  Were there not such a think, the Falcons would have a Super Bowl Championship under their belts, and Brady would have one more Super Bowl loss...
