InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
There's an excellent introduction to how to use R to scrape NFL data here, and a slightly more involved tutorial here. I strongly suggest giving this a go, both for the NFL related data crunching you can do, and for the ideal opportunity to learn a programming language: figuring out how to do something you already want to do.
