The AFC has been more of a passing conference in the past decade. As the NFC moves more to the passing game, we will see them changing to a 3-4.

RBs in the NFC the past decade:
Marshawn Lynch
AP
Frank Gore
Demarco Murray
Freeman
McCoy
Lacy
Ingram
Martin
Gurley
Elliot and Johnson are newcomers

In the AFC, we have had Bell and a couple of others like Chris Johnson.

QBs in the AFC the past decade:
Manning
Brady
Rapist
Rivers
Flacco
Luck
Tannehill
Dalton
Carr

All those are passing QBs

In the NFC, we have had Newton, Brees, Peyton's brother and Rodgers. One could argue that Newton is not as much pf a passing QB, but his stats say he is.

This means the emphasis in the conferences has been to pass more in the AFC and run more in the NFC.
