After 7 weeks of the NFL season, there are 4 teams with one loss or less–New England, Indianapolis, Green Bay, and Dallas. What do all these teams have in common? Excellent quarterbacks and receivers. Green Bay and Dallas are 1-2 in the NFC in passing yardage/game, New England is first in the AFC, while Indianapolis is 4th. These teams tend to have big leads, which means they might be running later in the games, minimizing the passing yardage they could actually achieve if they wanted to keep scoring. The third-best passing team in the NFC only has 2 losses.
As I’ve always said, you pass to score. Running might get you a first down or two, but the drive will eventually stall.
