Defense still wins championships in the NFL, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers showed in Super Bowl LV. However, offense is king in the regular season, and the emphasis on offensive football is at an all-time high.
2020 marked the highest-scoring season in league history—by more than 700 points. There's a good chance 2021 will bring even more scoring with the NFL changing to a 17-game schedule.
The emphasis on offense is a big reason why three quarterbacks and three pass-catchers went in the fop six of the 2021 draft. Games are frequently won or lost by quarterback play and a team's ability to create big plays in the passing game.
