It is very interesting and telling.  These are totals for the year. Teams in the playoffs.  Average number of rushes in the 4th, 142.8  or 30.3% of all their rushes during the year.Teams not in playoffs.  Average number of rushes in the 4th, 102.4 or 24.6% of all their rushes during the year. I could break it down by teams but I don't think that is necessary. So it appears to show that teams that are winning do run the ball more in the 4th than teams that are not winning.  Assuming of course teams that win made the playoffs.  Chicago BTW is at 138 in the 4th so they are right in with the teams that made the playoffs.  The lowest numbers belong to Jacksonville 60 and AZ at 64. The highest, Denver 174, and San Fran, 165.</blockquote>
