Eagles rank third in fourth-down conversion rates, per PFF analysis
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles have been recognized by Pro Football Focus for their aggressive approach on fourth down. Over the past five seasons, the team converted 63 percent of their fourth-down attempts, placing them third in the NFL behind the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams. This consistent success in converting critical plays has contributed to the Eagles’ overall competitiveness and success, including a Super Bowl championship. Head coach Nick Sirianni’s strategies have fostered a risk-taking mindset, enabling the team to extend drives instead of opting for punts or field goals. The so-called 'Brotherly Shove' play remains a highlight of their fourth-down efficiency as the league evolves in its approach to such situations.
