Which is one of the most obvious reasons that we are scoring more. If returns are random, then more total returns will mean more returns for TDs.

Then there's the element where we no longer consider it a waste of practice time to let the defense practice returns on interceptions. Granted, I'm pretty sure Hall scores without blocking on both of those TD returns this year, but at least we won't run into a Kareem Moore/Robert Meachem situation again.
