Indianapolis had the fewest drives of any team in the league this year, which serves to depress their raw totals. Their production per drive, in yards and points, respectively:
2003: 2.48; 34.74
2004: 2.93; 39.83
2005: 2.64; 37.04
2006: 2.80; 41.03
Incidentally, 2006 is the 4th straight year that Indy has been first in the league in both categories, which is pretty damn amazing. The Rams were first in both categories for three years, 1999-2001, though with slightly lower numbers. The stat is only listed going back to 1998, but its hard to think of another, similar stretch of offensive dominance, except perhaps from Bill Walsh's San Francisco teams.
