NFL is concerned about dip in scoring
The numbers that matter most — money and TV ratings — are up for the NFL. There’s one number that is down that the league doesn’t like.
“Statistically, what gives us concern a little bit is scoring,” Competition Committee chairman Rich McKay said during a Thursday conference call. “Scoring this year at 43.5 is still above an historical marker, which has kind of been that 43 mark. But we were at 49 points per game during COVID [in 2020], and we went to 45 [in 2021], we went to 43.76 [in 2022], and now we’re down to 43.54.”
McKay believes the proposed change to the kickoff will impact field position by 3-5 yards per drive, which will lead to more scoring. (He spoke of the revised kickoff as a done deal, and maybe it will be if the owners think it will result in more points.)

Everyday Fan:
“Man, I’m really enjoying the lower scoring games. Others must be enjoying it as well, we’re tuning in with record numbers!”
NFL Execs and Competition Committee:
“What the frick are the fans thinking?!?!? Enjoying defense??? frick that shite, we’re going to ban tackling.”
