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.

I’m wondering if this is because we were typically playing from behind and more specifically in pretty close games.
