NFL Week 1 sees increase in scoring following two-year drought, uncovering intriguing methods of point accumulation
NFL scoring increased in the first week of the season, with more rushing touchdowns than passing touchdowns for the first time since 1989. The decrease in passing statistics was attributed to factors such as lack of preseason and practice time, younger and more mobile quarterbacks, and increased hits on quarterbacks. There were also more illegal formation penalties called and an increase in sack rate during Week 1. Despite the decrease in passing yards, kickers had a high success rate on field goals, with a record number of successful attempts from beyond 50 yards. The reasons for these changes in scoring and passing trends are still being debated.
