Plus situational football might dictate more yards per game due to having huge leads and just running the clock out. This in the fantasy world is known as "junk time stat padding". In the real world, it's worthless.
Most of the time I would agree with you when it comes to this .but this team has been different this year. While maybe some of the yards against have come because of that, the close games (most of the losses) have proven, especially late in the games, to be a problem when it comes to getting teams off of the field. Just far too many long drive at the end of games for my taste. Drives like that strongly contribute to us being ranked 11 and not closer to a top 5, completely dominating in every facet defense.
