Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.The Washington Commanders have risked going for it on 4th down 24.1% of the time since the start of last season (4th-most in football), which generally means more offensive volume, more touchdown potential, and higher offensive stats across the board.
