Hey @ivy113, thanks for the report! I actually have this fixed already in the upcoming 0.3.3 release. Sorry for the confusion; I'm still figuring out the best way to manage releases in here.

In the meantime until that is merged, you can install it directly from the release branch by using the command below:

pip install --force-reinstall nfl-data-py@git+https://github.com/nflverse/nfl_data_py.git@v0.3.3

Thanks for letting me know! The pull request I filed was in regards to this, so please toss as it is no longer relevant.

Sorry to re-open this. But I'm seeing this similar error happening when I try to pull for 2024 (this year). I'm looking to get some pbp stats for week 1 but it's giving me the same "NameError: name 'Error' is not defined"
