It’s certainly possible Sanders was beginning to decline due to the aging process over that final 1/3 of his last season. But there’s another factor beyond the numbers which affects performance. Sanders saw no hope for winning in Detroit, disliked the head coach, and that led to his retirement. When a player has lost the passion, it’s going to show up on the field, and that 3.12 ypc wasn’t indicative of the great play earlier that season.
