NFL Scoring comes down to Earth in Week 3 -- Season average still over 45 points a game

Filling out the week 3 analysis, and I found that scoring went down about 15% (the Monday nighter would have to score 109 points to make up the difference) from week 2 to week 3, to an average of 41.4 per game, with the Monday nighter still to come.

However, this still means that the 47 games of the first three weeks have still averaged 45.17 points per game, which is just a shade under the 2002 average for the first two weeks.

More to come on that...
