The rules are making it so that teams should throw the ball more. Teams used to shudder at the idea of letting a young QB drop back 35 teams a game and take all those hits. But now with how the QB is protected, it's less of a concern, and defensive backs are limited in what they can do against receivers.

It's starting to look a bit more like college style football.
