Hello, Community!   A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.   This challenge was created by Desmond Turner. Thanks, @Desmond , for submitting your idea for this Weekly Challenge!   With the US football season now underway, it is the perfect time to dive into some football data. Over the years, the running back position in the National Football League (NFL) has seen a decline in value, driven by the league's shift towards a pass-heavy game. But does the data back this up? Use the provided dataset covering all plays from 2008 to 2019 to examine how the balance between running and passing has shifted over time.   Your challenge is to complete the following tasks: Calculate the total yards gained from run and pass plays each year. Determine the percentage of total yards gained attributed to running plays. Identify the top three teams that have leaned most heavily on the running game throughout this period.   Good luck, and happy football season!   Need a refresher?
