It's kind of the opposite of (for example) Ohio State vs Toledo State or some smaller team where it's usually something like 44-0 by half time.. It is probably the league dictating how badly teams are allowed to blow others out unless they're big market teams..After all, they want "parity and competitiveness" for the TV audience. If we're blowing out other teams most people tune out and the name of the game is eyeballs watching commercials, not blowouts. If you're buying ads during football games you really don't want one team or the other winning by 50 points. You don't sell soap with that.
Even with all these things in mind when your team is the Washington Generals of the league does anyone realistically expect blowouts very often? I certainly don't.
