In both years we won the SB we were #1 in the NFL.
Last year's SB was a matchup of the #1 and #2 teams in the NFL in points per play in the Chiefs and Eagles.
This year we are 15th.
That is a terrifying drop off for the offense.

Yeah, I prefer yards because of those end of game scenarios where if you're leading games you're leaving points on the table. But I do think the difference in yards versus points for us this year is more turnovers and red zone. Yards per play shows we are still moving effectively between the twenties, if we don't turn it over. 3rd down efficiency is actually good.
It's getting stuck in the red zone like we did against Denver, and the turnovers. That's a reason to be optimistic because those are easier to address than not being able to move the ball in general.
