Key Highlights
- Matthew Stafford’s pass fell incomplete and the Panthers went down and scored a touchdown. It was arguably the turning point in that game as a team with no life up to that point was given a glimpse of hope.
- That was the case around the NFL on Wild Card Weekend.
- Teams converted 15 of 29 fourth down attempts and the Chicago Bears with Ben Johnson went for it six times, including two failed attempts that led to touchdowns for the Green Bay Packers. There is a point when going for it on fourth down becomes reckless.
- Johnson going for it from his own 32-yard line falls into that category.
- Dan Campbell going for it three times in the 2023 NFC Championship game may have been reckless.
