Factoid
I notice that Josh Brown, the transplanted Seahawk, last year accounted for over 48 percent of the Rams’ points. He scored 112 points, and compared to just 120 for the rest of the team combined.
That’s the highest percentage by anyone in the last 15 years, and the 2nd-highest total since the league moved to a 16-game schedule in 1978.
I’m not promising that Brown will score over 40 percent of the Rams’ points again this season – that whole team is going to be reworked. But I thought you should know.
Kickers who have accounted for at least 44 percent of their team’s points in the last 30 years are shown below. Shown are the percentage, the points scored by the kicker, and the points scored by the team.
