Shifts in NFL Offensive Trends

Current trends in the NFL indicate a significant downturn in offensive performance, particularly in passing statistics, with many teams averaging under 200 yards per game. This decline has been reflected in metrics like adjusted net yards per attempt, which have reached the lowest levels recorded since 2020. The increasing difficulties offenses face seem to correlate with improvements in defensive strategies, leading to a distinctive trend where explosive plays are diminished. This shift suggests a potential long-term change in how the game is played, moving away from the previous era of offensive dominance.
