There was a lot more to it than just fourth down decisions
"We took six key statistical categories from the 2020 season -- fourth-down go rate, blitz rate, total passes downfield, two-point attempt rate, downfield pass percentage and air yards to sticks -- and dug in to find out where coaches ranked."
As for just 4th down decisions, Footballoutsiders always does an analysis on that. I forget the exact details, but they eliminate decisions made in the fourth quarter (or late in the fourth quarter) when far behind.
