Philadelphia had a two-point lead and was in position to put the Jets and Zach Wilson in an untenable spot. But it made a different choice.
Most would agree that teams have gotten smarter in their handling of fourth-down situations, going for it when it makes sense instead of punting almost out of habit. Making the aggressive play to win can absolutely be the smart play, regardless of results. It’s progress when teams seriously wrestle with these questions, not just on fourth down, but in all aspects of their game-management strategies.
“If before the game someone offered Philly to put its defense against Zach Wilson on a need-field-goal drive starting inside his own 15 with no timeouts and a minute left, you think they would have taken it?” In the situation Sunday, the Jets’ offense had netted 19 yards on its previous three possessions, producing one field goal on a drive that gained 16 of those yards. The Eagles had already suffered three turnovers.
