I'm not sure how many noticed this, but the average points per game in NFL Week 1 was only 36.6 points. For a frame of reference, the average for all of 2009 was 42.9 points per game for a whopping difference of 6.3 points. Now Week 1 is always depressed by a couple of points, but this is fairly significant.
Any thoughts on the reason? I have a few thoughts but wanted to see what other opinions there were.
