- The NFL saw fewer plays per game last year due to new touchback rules leading to shorter drives.
- This lowered pace might persist, affecting team play counts like Carolina's slower tempo.

- Bryce Young improved by extending plays and scrambling more, lowering his sack rate.
- His rushing touchdowns surged late, but sustaining that output long term is uncertain.
