The offense struggles to move down the field; the defense is there to stop them. How many yards a team rushes might say more about the relative quality of the teams than does the final score. After all, the score sometimes comes down to a gust of wind during a kick, or a ref’s questionable call. Usually the team with the most yards also has the most points and thus wins the game. But not always.
Last Sunday, the Denver Broncos rushed more yards than the Minnesota Vikings, but the Vikings won the game. Was this a football travesty? Is it time for Roger Goodell to change the rules? Of course not, but this is exactly the attitude of Electoral College critics.
