1/3 Saquon Barkley had the longest avg. rushing touchdown in the #NFL, by far. You’ll never guess who had the shortest.

Just kidding, obv. Jalen Hurts. (Min. 10) #Eagles

Barkley had as many rush TDs over 60 yards than under 10 (4), 13 total. Hurts had 14 total, 11 for 1 yard

The Phillies are on the verge of returning to the postseason for the first time in a decade. Here's everything you need to know: https://t.co/BJy8ZEhHyl

Great analysis about the new MLB playoff format and the tough road ahead for the Phillies. "[J]ust to get to the NLCS, the Phillies would have to survive a stretch of 16 road games in 17 days between Sept. 26 and Oct. 12." Subscribers only and worth it. https://t.co/HRobKiuMOE

Haven't verified, looks accurate. Assuming no ties and all 32 outcomes equally likely, the Eagles have a:
* 63% chance first round against Bucs (75% if Birds win, %50 if lose)
* 6% chance of playing the Cowboys (same chance of DAL getting #2 seed)
* 31% play NFC West champ

Speculators are buying tickets in hopes of flipping them for a profit. My investigation with @juliana_f_reyes went live today, with tips on how to avoid resellers when possible. Hat tip to @reveal and @ByardDuncan for their great Ticket Trap episode. https://t.co/bHoovUlOUY

Quick calculus review: this graph shows the rate of change in COVID-19 cases, now higher since last April. Cases are rising when the line is above zero, falling when below. The line crossing zero from + to - represents peaks in cases.

There is now a 2:1 difference in the vaccination rate of the top 6 counties in Pennsylvania compared to the bottom 3.

COVID-19 cases are down overall in the U.S., but on average cases down more in states with a higher vaccination rate. Data via @nytimes and @OurWorldInData

“We have a system that looks broken to people."
PA's expanding who's eligible & its distribution pace is better than most. But public frustration remains.
@erinK_mccarthy & I talked to 50 people about the state's communication and the public's perception:

@RadioDawson Just saw this linked on NPR, you captured the absurdity nicely.

@B_Delos Amazing, congrats!

I looked through the data on businesses that got paycheck protection dollars, and found that 19 groups registered to lobby the PA govt received millions. Firms that primarily lobby aren’t supposed to get PPP money. But it turns out, there’s a big caveat. https://t.co/gst97qXA4f

If Philly gave you a property for $1 would you...
A. Not pay the taxes
B. Let it fill with trash and weeds
C All of the above
We found too many owners of these properties aren’t doing their fair share to return the city’s favor. w/@InqCVargas @enactdev https://t.co/WvMKGaHFs6

Philly is so small... Out of all the streets and blocks in this city, somehow one tiny block has become a focus of TWO unrelated I-team stories. One by me @dylancpurcell @enactdev and the other by @CraigRMcCoy @jacobadelman

[Chris A. Williams @enactdev]

@Mmckinne17 Somehow I missed that you joined Spotlight! Love the gun story, hope we get to work on something together. I've been chating with Baxter about data needs.

Proud of the work I did with @samanthamelamed and @dylancpurcell on the fifth installment of The Probation Trap. Photos by @jessicagriffin, and @sgpotts crafted an incredible page layout. https://t.co/YApg84vbzh
