There have been 33 300+ yd games so far this season. This is the most ever. It represents a 50% increase over last year.

I think it is a combination of issues. First no OTA's, short camp, no two-a-days. The two a days are when the D gels with each other and the coverage. Reduced padded practices mean poor tackling technique. New rules and enforcements regarding QB's and receivers. Fewer dropped balls because of monster hits, Rushers not being able to run thru the QB (essentially moving Pro football closer to flag football.)
My feeling is that by about week 5 things will be settling down but we are still going to see higher yardage games than we have in the past.
