False tackle reporting #124

Closed TheMathNinja closed 4 years ago

Wanted to see if this was an nflfastR bug or an NFL data issue. Noticed two plays this year which were ruled incomplete passes, but also had tackles recorded (they were initially completed but overturned via challenge). There should be no tackles. The plays:

play_id game_id
2199 2020_05_NYG_DAL
2871 2020_05_PHI_PIT

This is because plays with overturned challenges contain the stat IDs for both the original and overturned play. The NFL issues corrections to the underlying data later in the week and we don't pull those in until Wednesday nights. This will be fixed if you check again Thursday; if it's not, please re-open
