yards_after_catch field is incorrect in pbp_pass

[gheemony]

The yards_after_catch field in pbp_pass is incorrect. It is currently a decimal between 0 and 1. Based on the data dictionary, it hould be an integer equal to the difference between receiving_yards and air_yards. Reviewing the desc fields confirms this. In the weekly dataframe, the rec_air_yards and rec_yards_gained fields seem accurate, so this error seems limited to the pbp_pass.

Looks like a bug. For the record, the model's predicted YAC is yards_after_catch_exp
