It's an NFL Old-School/Throwback MYTH that Offenses "didn't score points" throughout the 1950s/1960s/1970s/1980s etc.

Hell, Id bet a big chunk of those averages are defensive points.  

This was my immediate thought.

EDIT - I posted the average TD marks in passing and rushing categories for teams back then vs now, but I forgot to account for the fact teams played less games then, so didn't prove much either way.

Since the only member here alive in the 50's is @vike daddy, lets focus on right now. 

from 90's => 00's = 5% increase

From 00's => 10's = Another 7% increase

in 2021 the teams scored 24.8 points on average => Another 10% increase

From 90's to 2021 the growth was **24%** on average.

I was around in the 50s even though I was in early grammar school.  😉
