Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.The Detroit Lions have risked going for it on 4th down 27.9% of the time since the start of last season (most in the league), which usually means more offensive volume, more touchdown potential, and higher offensive statistics across the board.
