In a close NFL game, Packers coach Matt LaFleur made a bold fourth-down call to go for the win instead of tying, trusting quarterback Jordan Love, which led to a game-winning touchdown and a 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.
Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman expressed a lack of trust in his offensive line after their poor performance in a 34-22 loss to Texas A&M. The Razorbacks allowed 15 tackles for loss, including seven sacks, and failed to convert on a crucial fourth-and-1 play. Pittman's decision to go for it on fourth down instead of punting backfired, as the Aggies capitalized on the opportunity and scored a touchdown. The Arkansas offense struggled throughout the game, failing to find a rhythm and only scoring one offensive touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The offensive line, primarily made up of linemen recruited by Pittman, has regressed compared to previous seasons.
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels made a conservative decision to kick a short field goal instead of going for it on fourth down, ultimately costing his team the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders' offense struggled throughout the game, with interceptions and punts, while the Steelers' defense played well. McDaniels' decision not to go for it on fourth down in a crucial situation was heavily criticized, as it limited the Raiders' chances of a comeback and allowed the Steelers to run out the clock and secure a 23-18 victory.
