Why didn't they do it all the time in the past?

Because they were morons with no basic understanding of math or probability. It's the same general mindset that eventually made Moneyball a movie.

I know what analytics are.  You don't have to explain.

I just don't recall a bunch of "going for it on your own 30yd line with the lead and plenty of time left for your opponent" calls the past few years.

Unless

A - Your season record is trash
B - You're down 1-2 score with little time left
C - Better field position than 30yds
D - Your D is completely inept and you have no faith in them
E - You're an awful coach in desperation
