OK let's look at that for a second.
http://www.pro-football-reference.co...FL/passing.htm
Again, this is league-wide
2016- 786 Passing TDs 415 INTs Passing Yards 123639
1999- 665 Passing TDs 562 INTs Passing Yards 105289
That's a
15.4% increase in passing TDs since 1999. Not only that, but INTs are DOWN
26.16% from 1999. Passing yards are up by
17.4%.
That's what an economist would call
inflation. That's why 24 points in today's game are definitely not what they used to be.
