4th and 1 decisions are no longer hard in the NFL
It became obvious your team just gets ready to play fourth and two or fourth and one. So there's no like, it's not like, 'Hey, you really risked it there.' If you don't go for it on fourth and one, that's what everybody's doing. So to me, those aren't the hard decisions anymore. It's just become the norm.
Statistical trends in the NFL confirm that 4th down attempts have significantly increased and normalized over the early 2020s.
