Something like this?

Another option for some of these types of queries is an app I made called Yards Gained:

The data is from play-by-play text parsing going back to 2000.

This seems like as good a time as any to share something I've been working on which uses the same source data, even though it's pretty rough at the moment (slow, bad data, only currently goes through week 8 of 2012, etc.):

The basic syntax is [stats] [conditions] : [row] / [column].

There's some autocompletion to try to make it possible to discover what is accepted.

Examples:

passing yards : team / season

first downs / first down attempts : down / distance

rushing yards min 100 rushing yards : player, game, quarter

rushing yards / carries min 200 carries : player

One of the biggest problems is that it's currently way too easy to shoot yourself in the foot by making a really slow query.
