Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 994024">It seems to be widely accepted that teams have more success running the ball late in games because of the opposing defense wearing down.The numbers don't support that to be true by any means though. In the last 10 season running plays have gained an average of 4.48 yards per carry in the first three quarters but only 4.25 in the fourth. It's even more lopsided taking a look at last season (4.71; 4.35).FYI QB kneel downs aren't included in those numbers.Teams don't win because of running the ball more often, the run it because they're winning though. Last season, only the Bears gained more yards per play running the ball compared to throwing it.</blockquote>
