If extended over a whole season


A weird tidbit in an abnormally low scoring week 1 for the 2010's.

We might see 10 sacks collectively tonight if coaches don't adjust. These OL's are terrible for both teams.

It's a combination of kids coming out of college not ready to play at the Oline position in the NFL, and the league becoming a pass happy league. This isn't very surprising to say the least.

But if I'm reading the OP's tweet correctly the # of sacks is lower than 30 years ago?

League has been pass-happy for a while and sacks have gone down, not up. This year is an anomaly to the trend
