History

Historical Context

In 1978, the NFL introduced significant rule changes to enhance offensive play, marking the end of the "Dead Ball Era," where teams averaged only 17.2 points per game. This shift led to a focus on rushing strategies, exemplified by the New England Patriots setting a record with 3,165 rushing yards. Today, teams like the Buffalo Bills leverage strong rushing attacks to dominate games, reflecting this historical trend.
