You hear it all the time – the NFL is a passing league. Along with that you are regularly reminded of things such as:
• The rules have been changed to enable more scoring.
• The league wants more scoring.
• Fantasy football drives ratings and they want more scoring.
• The NFL now resembles Arena Football.
But did you know that since the Ravens entered the league in 1996, the average points scored by team per game has increased by just 2.9 points – essentially a field goal.
