This applies here just as much here as on the other thread I posted it to.
The 24 point barrier is not a meaningless number picked at random.
The 2013 season was the highest scoring season in NFL history. Take a look at the average points per game for professional teams (including the AAFC and AFL) since 1940:

Champions have to be able to score more than 25 points by and large, to navigate the playoffs and win it all. There are exceptions to the rule, but by and large, if you are 1 for 35 when opponents score at least 24 points, your playoff run will be brief. By and large. Don't go all 2000 Ravens on me.
