The NFL is known as a dramatic sport where teams can pull out incredible wins on any given Sunday - but this has not always been the case.
Particularly in recent times, high-powered offences have overwhelmed defences as the age of the quarterback has come into play. Quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen - the superstar centrepieces of the game - are protected by the rules to ensure scoring remains high, keeping spectators generally entertained.
However, there are the odd games where both offences struggle to reach the end zone in a defensive battle that results in low scoring clashes. The Thursday night contest between the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos in Week 5 earlier this season springs to mind, where the Colts kicked their way to touchdown-less 12-9 overtime win which saw both teams heavily scrutinised.
