Adam Schefter of ESPN posted an interesting infographic on his Twitter account Thursday morning that depicts the top average yards per play posted by offenses since the 1970 NFL merger. That information shows how just how prolific the offenses of the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers have been so far this season. So, how does the Pittsburgh Steelers 2018 offense currently stack up to those three teams and is there any other per play data worth taking a closer look at?
On a per-play basis, this season features three of the four most prolific offenses since the 1970 merger, and two of them – the Chiefs and Rams – play Monday night.
