NFL teams averaged just as many points per game in the 1960s as they do today of the 2020s.

I know they did. Because I've researched and studied the data on a year by year basis.

The myth that Ds didn't allow points in the 60s, 70, 80s and 90s Etc is just that; a myth.
They the later decades yes
But if you go back to the beginning from 1933( yes before my time @cheaterhater ) the Avg was 9 points per came climbing to 15-16 til 1942
Then climbing thru the teens to the low 20s by 1947-48 were it still stands today
Actually in the 70s it dropped into the high teens for a few years .
I think the Jets for the entire 70sdecade had a hand in that 🤣

how about shutouts???? There is more even teams now with all the teams but passing is just too easy...takes the fun out of the game.

Yes
The rule changes from the 60s and 70s have basically taken playin defense in the NFL nearly impossible
Yes but does the clock now run faster & more often then it did in those days? Less time to score would mean more points

Yea
I think in 2008 they changed the out of bounds clock stoppage from always to the last 2 min of half and last 5 min of game
So you go have that
I can’t believe it was only 2008 I though that was changed long ago
Gettin old
