NFL Football 2011
When faced with a fourth-and-one situation, coaches and players rely on all of their strengths and research in a significant match of wits and physical fortitude.
The JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS, who attempted (16) and converted (12) the most fourth-and-one situations in the NFL last season, were one of seven clubs that converted at least 75 percent of such scenarios (minimum five attempts). The ST. LOUIS RAMS led all teams in efficiency by converting all six attempts.
"You've got to be aggressive in the NFL and you've got to take chances," says Jaguars running back MAURICE JONES-DREW. "Sometimes they backfire, but more times than not, we feel like we have a chance to keep it going."
The teams from last year with the most attempts and the best efficiency on fourth-and-one:
