Those of you paying close attention to PFR noticed that an hour or so ago, the site's look and feel was tweaked ever so slightly. Baseball-Reference.com got a similar reset about a month ago and we will be moving onto our other sites at some point soon as well.

These are not huge changes, but there are some.

• Column headers can still be sorted, but clicking three times returns you to the default table
• The tooltips have been improved in their appearance.
• There is a glossary link above the stats tables that will show you all of the stats in the table in one place
• All of the tables on the site are now shareable. Clicking that SHARE link above the stats tables brings up a dialog that lets you create custom reports from the table. You can delete columns and rows and then get the output as html, a link, plain text, text for your favorite bulletin board and more
• Player pages now have a newsfeed at the top of the page that shows latest injury reports, news from KFFL, and player mentions in various blogs. You can add your blog to our newsfeeds and get links from your player mentions to PFR all in one feel swoop.
• Player navigation to things like gamelogs, comebacks, splits and the like have been modified to be more in line with what you might know from Baseball-Reference.com. They now appear just above the player stats on the player pages.
• The site should be faster now as we've tweaked the way the css and js is downloaded.
• Every player, team, and box score now has a Facebook "Like" button, so that you can let the world know your favorite players. Go crazy.
• The blog template has been tweaked a bit as well and you can have an image appear by your comments setting up a universal avatar at Gravatar.com.
• Box scores got an updated look.
• The search engine got an updated look and now also appears in a larger block on the front page.
• There are now more links to the College Football Site.

Feedback is always appreciated and you can directly file a bug via our Feedback Form.

Starting today, SR's college basketball site will be updated on a daily basis with 2010-11 statistics and results. Player game logs and splits are not ready yet, but they should be up by December 1 at the latest. Keep in mind that there are almost 350 Division I schools, so early on there may be a few hiccups. Please help us out by letting us know if anything looks amiss, either by posting a comment on the CBB blog or by filling out the CBB feedback form.

Little late on things this week. How good has Philip Rivers been? Really, really good. Rivers continues to shine despite seeing his targets drop like flies. Oh, and Brett Favre and Jacoby Ford did some pretty impressive things, too.

Did you know that Stafford and Sanchez -- the top two quarterbacks from the '09 draft -- are set to face off this weekend? Believe it or not, that's only happened two other times in the past five years. I was surprised to learn that since the 1970 draft, only 12 pairs of quarterbacks selected in the top 10 of the same class ever started games against each other, with Terry Bradshaw and Mike Phipps squaring off most frequently.

Also in this post: the Raiders are historically good (for at least the past two weeks), as is Ndamukong Suh and Philip Rivers. Full post available here.

This week I took a look at Mike Williams' unusual career path: he's now the top receiver on the top team in the N.F.C. West. I also noted that there have been 11 sets of round robin results this year where three teams played each other and all went 1-1. The most bizarre one? The Denver-Oakland-Tennessee triumvirate, where the Titans crushed the Raiders, the Raiders demolished the Broncos, but somehow, Denver beat Tennessee. Expect this to lead to a future post on the PFR blog about the craziest such round robins in league history.

What's going on in the state of Texas? Houston saved their season in the second half on Sunday, while a weak N.F.C. means all is not lost for the Cowboys. For more on the Texans and Cowboys, Chris Ivory, and the similarities between Tiki Barber and Ahmad Bradshaw, check out page B19 of the Times today or the Fifth Down blog.

A two-part post this week:

• First, a look at the absurdly inefficient San Diego Chargers, who have piled up the yards but left the wins behind. The Chargers have the second best yardage different in league history through five games. They've gained 1,078 more yards than they allowed, more than twice as high a differential as any team, ever, with a losing record after five games.

• Sunday also was a rough day for a quintet of former number one picks; also, some quick hitting trivia on the Cardinals, Antonio Gates, Todd Gollins, Max Hall and the Jets turnover-free offense.

How many quarterbacks have thrown for as many yards after four games as Kyle Orton? Which team has two of the leading three receivers in receptions and yards? Tomlinson's yards per carry average is how rare for someone his age? All that and more, available on Page B13 of the New York Times today or at this link to the Fifth Down blog.

Are the Chiefs for real? Jason hasn't been bombarding my e-mail inbox with predictions of a Jets-Chiefs playoff showdown, but I think Kansas City could be a playoff team this year. This week, I wrote about how the Chiefs overhauled their roster but noted that their poor performance last year may still be a harbinger of bad times ahead. You can check it out over on the Fifth Down blog or on Page B12 of the Times today.

What do you think? Will the Chiefs make the playoffs?

Just a quick note to let everyone know there will be a brief site downtime at 4AM EST tomorrow morning. As always, send us an e-mail if you have any questions or comments, and hopefully everything will go smoothly with minimal inconvenience to all.

In the wake of last week's strange 19-11 Steelers-Titans and 25-22 Saints-49ers scores, there's been a lot of chatter about how often those specific scores have happened in NFL history. Luckily, here at Pro-Football-Reference you can answer that very question -- in fact, you can run a search on any combination of final scores to see how often they've occurred all-time.

Using the Game Score Finder, we see that Monday night's 25-22 final was just the 8th such game in NFL history, and Sunday's 19-11 score was even rarer -- only the 3rd time such a score has ever occurred!

Using the main table on this page, and clicking the "count" column header to sort by he number of instances in the database, you can find the rarest and most common scores in pro football history. You might be surprised to see the number of combinations that have taken place just once, running the gamut from 66-0 blowouts to brutal 5-3 affairs. And at the other end of the spectrum, 20-17 is by far the most common all-time final score. Play around with the tool for a while, and you'll always know where to find an answer when somebody asks, "how often does this score happen?"

After two weeks, the Texans’ rushing offense looks much better than we thought; ditto, the Ravens’ pass defense, even without the star safety Ed Reed. But do you remember how things appeared this time a year ago?

That's the theme of this week's post for the Fifth Down, where I use NY/A and RYO2.0 to grade the passing and rushing strengths of each team.

Just copied over the new pages for 2010. Everything that was updating last year, should now be updating. We are working on some improvements and should have more news later this month and into October. As always, we greatly appreciate any bug reports as there are far too many pages here for us to check one-by-one.

Going forward for future weeks, we'll be updating the site each morning with the previous day's games.

Once again, Pro-Football-Reference.com will be teaming up with the New York Times and the New York Times' Fifth Down Blog. Every Tuesday on the Fifth Down blog (link available here) and every Wednesday in print (page B14 of your newspaper today) we'll be running a weekly update (for you baseball fans out there, Sean has been doing essentially the same thing through Baseball-Reference.com this season).

Today's article references one of the discussions Jason, Doug and I got into on a recent podcast: when do good teams lose games? As it turns out, "week 1" is a pretty common answer.

Some terrific news from the blogosphere this week: PFR's very own Jason Lisk (JKL for longtime readers of the blog) is now The Big Lead's NFL blogger. Everyone here at Sports-Reference is very proud of Jason, and we're also excited because it means we get to read his stuff a lot more (he'll be producing around 20 posts a week for TBL). Congratulations, JKL, you earned this.

Also, no need to worry -- Jason's relationship with PFR isn't completely over because of his new job. He'll still be able to occasionally post things like the AFL series, HoF profiles, and other historical pieces here, as well as podcasts. Obviously the majority of his time and writing power will be devoted to TBL, as it should be, but it's reassuring to know that he'll be making cameo appearances at our humble blog from time to time.

Anyway, big props to Jason, and here's to great success in the future. We'll miss having you around here all the time, but we're also thrilled about your new opportunity. Go get 'em!

OK, I've gotta toot our own vuvuzela for a second here: I just found out that the Sports-Reference family of sites has been named to TIME Magazine's list of the 50 Best Websites for 2010! It's a great honor for us, and a thrill to know that our users get so much enjoyment & utility out of the sites. Here's to being your favorite sports stats destination for many years to come...
