Third Most Efficient Offense in History

[Dantés]

I've mentioned this in a couple of different threads, but I think as many people as possible need to see this, because it is genuinely astounding.

According to Football Outsiders (and I've seen slight variation depending on the source, but they're in the same neighborhood). The Packers 3.22 points scored per drive this season are the fourth most in the history of the NFL.

It goes:

1. 2007 Patriots: 3.37
2. 2018 Chiefs: 3.25
3. 2020 Packers: 3.22
4. 2018 Saints: 3.21
5. 2016 Falcons: 3.06

Now because the Packers were not a fast offense (their average drive length, 3:14, was the longest in the league), their total points scored were not historic. Their 31.8 points per game ranks around 30th all time (though still #1 for the 2020 season).

But on a per drive basis, only two offenses that FO is aware of have been more effective.

I am not sure how many people realize the special nature of this offensive season, and I want to draw attention to it. So behold.

It must be frustrating for fans of teams playing us. Long, slow, tortuous death.
