Total Point Trends

A change to scoring rules before the 2012 season in how yardage bonuses are calculated (more granular) has resulted in about a touchdown increase per team per game in scoring over 2011, which was a high over previous years. Scoring historically has been variable, and has improved as owners have access to more modern tools and information outlets. Below we’ll keep a running tab of annual total points and per team/wk average.
