Thought this was the age of bombs away in the NFL, didn’t you?

Background

Thought this was the age of bombs away in the NFL, didn’t you? Quarterbacks routinely passing 30, 40 or even 50 times a game. QBs and wide receivers making vulgar amounts of money.

The Dolphins posted the week’s highest total, 42. The Jaguars were second with 37. The next highest number was the 26 points put up by the Rams.

 

The NFL has done all sorts of things with the rules to increase scoring. QBs are protected. WRs run free. But defenses have become more creative; defenders are bigger AND faster.

 

The NFL knows offense sells tickets. So what’s next? Defenses playing with only 10 players?
