I did not see any place in this article were it said " Entire NFL threw more then ran"
See it now?
Here is what was said with regards to ran or run
"The Seahawks Just Ran Themselves Out of the Playoffs"
"NFL teams ran less in 2018 than any other season in NFL history."
"Fancy that! Seattle naturally ran the ball on first and second down for a combined 5 yards before Wilson bailed them out again on third-and-5, then watched Carson get a 1-yard rush and said “screw it, I’ll do it myself” and ran the ball in for a touchdown."
"Yet those games came against Kansas City and Arizona, who ranked 32nd and 29th in rushing defense DVOA. The Cowboys ranked fifth, and they played like it on Saturday."
"these two stats are related. Passing is more efficient than running, and the entire NFL is running less and scoring more."
"Head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer stuck to the run despite MVP-caliber quarterback Russell Wilson idling in the backfield like an unused getaway Ferrari in a bank robbery. "
"he quarterback finished the game with 18 completions on 27 attempts for 233 yards and a solid 8.6 yards per pass attempt, more than three times as efficient as the team’s running plays."
"Their first drive of the third quarter featured two runs for 4 yards and a Wilson incompletion on third-and-6 that forced a punt and a three-and-out. "
"The drive after that nearly ended with a run, yes a run, by backup running back Mike Davis on third-and-7 that gained 2 yards."
"Under Schottenheimer (and likely at the direction of Carroll), Seattle was the only team to run more than it passed in 2018. "
"Admittedly, Seattle did quite well running the ball at the tail end of the season, managing 392 rushing yards in the final two games of the season."
"Unlike Baltimore, Seattle did not run in a unique style that changes the fundamental math of football and hides a raw quarterback, like when the Ravens have Lamar Jackson run a read-option."
No place does it say " Entire NFL threw more then ran" The closest thing is "NFL teams ran less in 2018 than any other season in NFL history." or "These two stats are related. Passing is more efficient than running, and the entire NFL is running less and scoring more."
And all 3 are true statements
Example this year the entire NFL ran the ball 13270 times but passed it 17671. So the NFL did pass more than run
