NFL on AWS
Powered by AWS Machine Learning to create a better experience for fans, players, and teams.
AWS improves understanding and analysis of football tackles
A defender’s split-second decision can be the difference between a game-changing tackle and a touchdown. For years, the NFL has sought to quantify these crucial moments, but the complexity of the measuring the different factors contributing to a made or missed tackle made this a challenging task. Enter Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the NFL's Next Gen Stats (NGS) team, who together embarked on an ambitious project to build Tackle Probability, a new AI-powered model that changes how we understand and analyze tackles in football.
