Honestly, I would have assumed that the averages were much higher than that on yardage, and also that the increase would have been larger. Must be a Matt Cassel effect in 2013.

I'm also showing 1.57 TD passes per game in 2013. If it was 1.37 in 1984 and 1.47 in 2012, then we saw a 30-year jump in average over the course of a single season in 2013. I'm not bothering to calculate all the years in between, so maybe one of the three numbers is a fluke.
