Re: Around the NFL Off - Season style.
I think the Colts and Patriots are the to blame for this explosion of offensive firepower.
It was the Colts that pushed for the "no contact after 5 yards" rule after they lost to the Pats a couple of years ago in the playoffs. And then there's the Brady rule, where you basically can't touch a QB (definitely not Brady). Throw in the safety rules about hitting a defenseless receiver and you have the surge in offensive yards that we've seen in the past few seasons.
