Another factor: muddy and rainy conditions tend to favor defenses, and hurt the rushing game more than the passing game. It's easier to pass block relative to run block when it's muddy, and fumbles are more common in rain/mud, and while dropped passes are as well, the consequences are obviously not as severe.

I thought this was the case, but you hear the casual fan say the opposite VERY frequently.
