combine_max_stats by quarter

[mesee298]

Is there a way that you can get by quarter the combine_max_stats for a player?

Not really a native way to do this, but you can get pretty close.

For example, you can see who threw for the most yards in the 4th quarter of games like so:

import nflgame

def filter_quarter_plays(qtr, plays):
    qtr_start = nflgame.game.GameClock(qtr, '15:00')
    qtr_end = nflgame.game.GameClock(qtr, '0:00')
    return plays.filter(time__le=qtr_end).filter(time__ge=qtr_start)

games = nflgame.games(2017, kind='REG')
plays = nflgame.combine_plays(games)

fourth_quarter_plays = filter_quarter_plays(4, plays)

for player in fourth_quarter_plays.players().sort('passing_yds').limit(15):
    print player, player.passing_yds
