If I had to guess, I'd say that the offense scores about 65 percent of points, special teams scores 30 (if you count extra points for them), and the defense scores 5. This is a big imbalance.
If we want to fix it, we need more special teams points and more defensive points. I propose the following:
Special Teams:
1 point for the kicking team per fair catch
2 points for a kickoff between the uprights
12 points for a touchdown return
2 points per blocked kick or punt
2 points for a return that is stopped inside the 10
Defense
1 point per quarterback sack or tackle for loss
3 points per turnover
1 point for forcing a fourth down
1 point for any incomplete pass that touches a receiver
That should even it up. We can turn this sport into a pinball game.
