This morning on Toucher & Hardy, Albert Breer talked about the recent drop in scoring in the NFL. He pointed out a few reasons behind this trend, like teams getting better at defense and a stronger focus on ball control. Breer noted that many younger quarterbacks are still finding their footing, which can also impact scoring. He mentioned how teams seem to be playing it safe with their play-calling, opting for more conservative strategies instead of going for big plays. Overall, he said it’s interesting to see how scoring can fluctuate from season to season, but this year’s dip has definitely caught attention.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Improved Defensive Strategies: Defenses are getting smarter and more effective, making it harder for offenses to score.

Quarterback Adjustments: Younger quarterbacks are still figuring things out in the league, which affects their scoring ability.

Conservative Play-Calling: Teams are trending toward safer play-calling, which can limit scoring opportunities.

Offensive Line Challenges: Some teams are struggling with offensive line issues, leading to less protection for quarterbacks and fewer scoring chances.
