The 2024 NFL season is now eight games old, and it's as good a time as any to purview the league landscape. We're roughly at the halfway point of the season and trends have emerged that can, at this point, be taken as fact. Like, say, Patrick Mahomes may be in line for the worst statistical season of his career even though the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated on the season. Or the New York Jets not being the team that was promised by certain media members (Mike Greenberg, you did it to yourself!)
One trend that's always been interesting to track during the NFL season is point differential. For the uninitiated, point differential is a fancy way of saying how many more points a team scores than their opponents, accumulated over the course of the season.
