2022 NFL Week 4 Score Report

Well, well...  Curiouser and Curiouser, Said Alice
  • Two biggest news items of the week in the score report.  The first is, led by the Lions-Seahawks game, it was, by almost a touchdown, the highest-scoring week of the year so far:  49.1875 points per game.
  • The Lions-Seahawks game total of 93 is the highest in the NFL (I think, damn Pro Football Reference for doing this as a subscription thing now -- assholes...) since Tampa beat the Rams in Los Angeles 55-40 in 2019.  (The Rams-Chiefs debacle was in 2018
  • It ended up tied for 18th all time for combined scoring total in the history of the league.  That I CAN confirm through Twitter.
  • Season average for the first 64 games of the year was elevated to 43.86.  
  • Last year:  Week:  46.56.  Season:  47.14.  Two years ago, both were over 52.
  • Home teams:  8-7 for the week, 33-29-1 for the year.  Last year:  8-8 for 31-32.

  • Four Cliffhangers this week, 16 for the year.  Last year:  5 for 16.
  • Nine games finished within one score, 38 for the year.  Last year:  8 for 30.
  • The other big stat of the week:  Only the 41-31 win by the Chiefs over the Tom Bradys was noncompetitive -- no margin within eight at any point in the 4th quarter.  14 such games for the season so far.  Last year:  6 for 23.
  • And four Last Chance Misses for 23 for the year.  Last year:  5 for 16.
Interesting NFL ratings stat from Sports Media Watch:
  • Of the nine highest ratings 18-34 for the NFL as of the end of 22 windows, three are held by Amazon's Thursday Night package.
