Methodical defense and field goals in bunches had come to dominate the game. In the offseason, owners tried to increase excitement by moving the goal posts back 10 yds. and making other revisions to rejuvenate the offense. The changes have succeeded to some extent, but what the N.F.L. really needed was some fresh heroes, new contenders and a tight race to the Super Bowl instead of Miami's usual romp...
