Abstract
The lack of crowds at sports fixtures as a result of COVID-19 restrictions has
allowed researchers a unique opportunity to examine the widely accepted convention of home advantage. This work takes a slightly different approach, by examining
within game outcomes. Specifically using play-by-play data from the NFL, this paper
asks whether the lack of crowds aided a Quarterback’s ability to manipulate opposition defenses. Results suggest this was the case, though effects are not uniform by
home and away team.
