In fact, our runs are +23, (175-146) and our passes +20, (287-267). Passes have more potential but also more risk. Also, we aren’t getting big plays on defense and special teams due to lack of pressure. We are 88-86 on third down but 22-8 on fourth down. We are 84-94 on first down runs and 59-39 on second down runs. Why not pass on first and run on second?

But we’ve won 615 plays with the ball and only 370 when we didn’t have it. That means we’ve run a lot more plays than they did. Staying on the field, extending and finishing drives – that’s why we are 8-3.
