Uncrustables consumption rate by NFL teams 1) do not vary by league, 2) do not correlate with 2023 wins

Many thanks to Dr. Sara Appleby for sharing this data with me!!

I really enjoy silly data, like this one from Jayson Jenks, writing for The Athletic, which shows how many Uncrustables each team eats per week. Well, data from the teams that elected to participate and/or didn't make their own PB and Js. The whole article is fun, so give it a read. It makes sense that hungry athletes would go for a quick, calorie-dense, nostalgic snack containing protein. 

Here is the data visualization: 


Damn, Denver. 

I entered this data into a spreadsheet for all of us. Spoiler alert: The number of Uncrustables eaten per week does not vary by league (independent t-test example), and the number of wins in 2023 does not correlate with the number of Uncrustables eaten per week in 2023 (correlation/regression example). Also, for my own curiosity, I re-ran the data after deleting Denver, and it wasn't enough of a difference to achieve significance.
