NFL Average Scores per Game 2000-2020

Introduction

This article is a simple look at the average number of each way to score in the NFL has changed in the 20-year period ending in 2020. I look at regular season games only.

Touchdowns

The following graph shows the average touchdowns per game by year. The blue line shows the average per game per year. The red line shows the least-squares regression line, which flattens out the ups and downs to show the overall trend.

NFL-2000-2020-touchdowns

It's easy to see there the trend of increasing touchdowns. The red trend line shows an increase of 0.0367 touchdowns per game per year. Over 21 years covered, that is an increase of 0.77 per game.

Extra Points

The following graph shows the average extra points after a touchdown per game by year. The blue line shows the average per year. The red line shows the least-squares regression line, which flattens out the ups and downs to show the overall trend.

NFL-2000-2020-extra-points

Although there is an increasing trend in more extra points per game by year, it isn't as strong as the increasing touchdowns. This is obviously due to two-point conversion attempts becoming more popular. The red trend line shows an increase of 0.015 touchdowns per game per year. Over 21 years covered, that is an increase of 0.315 per game.

Two-Point Conversions

The following graph shows the average two-point conversions after a touchdown per game. The blue line shows the average per year. The red line shows the least-squares regression line, which flattens out the ups and downs to show the overall trend.

NFL-2000-2020-two-point-conversion

The red trend line shows an increase of 0.0041 two-point conversions per game by year. Over 21 years covered, that is an increase of 0.086 per game per year. This may not sound like much, but the average two-point conversions per game over the 21-year period is 0.294. The 0.086 increase per game represents 29% of the overall average per game.

Field Goals

The following graph shows the average field goals per game. The blue line shows the average per year. The red line shows the least-squares regression line, which flattens out the ups and downs to show the overall trend.

NFL-2000-2020-field-goals

The red trend line shows increase of 0.0201 field goals per game per year. Over the 21-year period, that is an increase of 0.4221 per game. The average over the 21 period is 3.12, so an increase of 0.42 per game represents a significant change.

Safties

The following graph shows the average safties per game by year. The blue line shows the average per year. The red line shows the least-squares regression line, which flattens out the ups and downs to show the overall trend.

NFL-2000-2020-safties

The red trend line shows a very minor increase of 0.0008 safties per game per year by year. Over the 21-year period, that is an increase of 0.0168 per game. The average over the 21 period is 0.0634, so an increase of 0.0168 per game represents a moderate increase.

Total Points Scored

The following graph shows the average points scored per game by year. The blue line shows the average per year. The red line shows the least-squares regression line, which flattens out the ups and downs to show the overall trend.

NFL-2000-2020-points-game

The red trend line shows a very minor increase of 0.3054 points scored per game per year by year . Over the 21-year period, that is an increase of 6.41 per year. The average over the 21 period is 44.36, so an increase of 6.41 per year represents a significant increase.
