Every NFL touchdown, as it is scored
The Live TD Tracker is the live view of touchdown props: every touchdown scored across the week's games, with the scorer, the passer, the type, the play's length, the clock and the score after the play, and each game's first touchdown tagged. It fills in as games are played and stays up after the week ends.
What does the Live TD Tracker show?
Every touchdown scored across the week’s NFL games, logged as the tracker picks it up from the live scoring feed: the scorer, the passer on a passing touchdown, whether it was a passing, rushing or return-or-defensive score, the play’s length, the quarter and clock, and the score after the play. Above the table, the summary strip counts the week’s touchdowns and averages them over the games that have started. While games are being played the tracker checks the feed every few minutes, so a new touchdown is recorded within minutes of the play and is on the board the next time it loads; before the week’s first touchdown the page shows the slate and its kickoff times instead.
How is a game’s first touchdown decided?
The First TD tag goes to each game’s earliest touchdown — by quarter, then by the clock counting down — and to only one play per game. It is worked out from the recorded plays each time the page loads rather than stored, and it names the same play the first-touchdown props settle on.
Why do some rows show no yards?
A play’s length comes from the feed’s structured yardage, or from the play description when that field is missing. A touchdown recorded before the tracker captured lengths shows -- instead, and is left out of the field diagram, which counts it in the note beneath.
What does the field diagram show?
Each touchdown with a recorded length, drawn as a run toward one goal line and stacked with the longest at the top, coloured by touchdown type to match the Type column. It draws the play’s length only — where on the field a play started is not tracked — and hovering or pinning a row in the table lights up its run.
Where the rows come from
While a game is live the tracker checks a public live scoring feed every few minutes and records each touchdown play as it lands. The scorer and passer come from the feed's structured play participants, matched to the same player records TouchdownPredict uses everywhere; a player the match cannot place is shown as -- rather than guessed at.
The touchdown type is passing when a passer and a receiver are named on the play, rushing when the scorer carried it with no passer, and return or defensive otherwise. The score shown is the score the feed records after the scoring play.
