The NFL continues to give up all claims to being a repository of manly sport — even on the field. According to the metrics of the awesome @NYT4thDownBot, in at least 10 percent of all fourth downs, teams would have been better off going for it than punting: In general, I think teams should go for it more often than they do. One thing to remember is that N.F.L. offenses have become a lot better in recent years. This rise of offense means that having the ball matters more than it used to, and where you start with it matters less. Possession trumps field position. When teams have a chance to keep the ball by converting a fourth-and-short, they often should give it a shot.
