Going for 2 every play would lead them to an immediate 4 and out with 2 yards remaining deep in their own territory.

Modify your strategy just a little bit and you have the eagle’s current offensive strategy. They more or less know that they can get 2 yards in a 4th and 2 situation. With something like a 98% success rate. So, knowing you really only have to go 8 yards in 3 plays instead of 10, drastically changes your game plan. They are playing like everything is 4 down territory. It’s an extremely aggressive strategy, and I think it rests mostly on Jason Kelce’s health, but so far they’ve had a lot of success with it. Every coach in the league is laying awake at night trying to dream up ways to counter it. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

I like how mahomes is just automatically in the race
