The 1999 rams that we scored almost 1 ppg more than this year? (.9)
For reals though.... This is going to be a great game. Pats will shut down Julio most likely so we will need Sanu, Gabriel, and our RBs to step up big time (which they do).
Adjusted for inflation, 1 ppg more in 2017 is actually less impressive than what the Rams did in '99
Warner played in a league when a 300 yd, 3 TD game was considered to be a big day for a QB and would routinely go 400/5. He was putting up numbers that were unheard of.
The Falcons had a historically great offensive season, but the gap between Ryan and his contemporary competition is much smaller than for Warner. Ryan probably wins MVP, but Rodgers will steal a good chunk of votes and they both just got lucky that Brady decided to rest his ACL for a few games at the start of the season.
