Choosing not to bring an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.The Cleveland Browns have gone for it on 4th down 22.2% of the time since the start of last season (9th-most in the league), which typically means more offensive volume, more touchdown potential, and higher offensive metrics across the board.
