Defending now is borderline impossible.

People really underestimate the Mel Blount rule.

Not the rule itself but the reasoning. Most of the greatest scoring defenses of all-time played in the 1970s. For a reason.

The NFL had to actually make a rule that you can't mug a receiver beyond 5 yards of the LOS.

Scoring was so low.

A QB can only throw to a receiver if he's open, not lying on the ground after going over the middle.
