nfldb

nfldb was extracted from the nflgame Python library, a powerful utility for retrieving various NFL-related details, right from the leagues official website.

nfldb will help developers retrieve play-by-play related game data, with result filters for teams, schedules, scores and roster positions.

nflgame and nfldb basically provide access to the same data. The difference is how they do it.

nflgame takes data right from the NFL GameCenter JSON feed, while nfldb allows developers to store it and search it inside a relational database.
