Much has been made this season of the differences in offensive production observed in the first and second half of the game.
I don't recall if we have discussed whether or not the scoring disparity is normal given what we have seen over the last few seasons. So I decided to take a look. The schedule below shows the breakdown of rushing and passing touchdowns by half over the last five years and the total points scored by half to date this year.
