This week, there were teams that either scored in bunches or teams that failed to score touchdowns. By the numbers, six teams failed to score a touchdown. Along with those six teams, three other teams only were able to get only one touchdown. That's nine total teams that either didn't score a touchdown or scored only once. Seven teams were able to score 30 points or more. Now why does it look like this? Could it possibly be the defenses are good or the offenses are bad? Depends on the team honestly. The Titans couldn't score a touchdown against the Browns and only won in overtime because the Browns also failed to score a touchdown. The Rams defense is actually considered one of the best and they shutout the Cardinals and Carson Palmer left that game with a broken arm. Now these are just examples. So with all that being said, let's look at what happened this past week.
