There is still a pretty significant difference in the stats. Yardage is up about 33% through three games over the NFL average, while the number of plays is only up about 20%. I don't think that the number of plays is affected quite as much by the stopping of the clock issue, as there are only about 5 more passes a game, but there are a little over 17 more rushes a game. Rushes are what eat up the clock.

But as you said, this is only a 3 game sample. It will be interesting to see how things play out over a whole season, then multiple seasons.
