The NFL is changing.
It’s about high scoring, high octane offenses. The game has evolved to benefit the passing attack. It’s not about stopping your opponent, it’s about simply outscoring them.
Until it’s not.
The Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs were under the bright lights of Monday Night Football in week eleven, where the Rams won 54-51. All we heard after that was “this is the new NFL.” That the NFL was now a game where defense was irrelevant and it was about points, points, and more points. It was about quarterbacks and receviers gaining yards at a record clip.
