It was ahead of the last team (San Francisco 49ers which had 13.7 points overall) with 23.1points and all the other 30 teams fall between. From the data, we can see that the season was very competitive as there are a number of teams that have less than 10 points behind the top most team. Majority of the teams have however scored more than 20 points. The average mean score for all the teams is 21.6 points.
New England Patriots seems to have done exemplary well in the yards game as it is the only team that has been able to hit over 400 points.
