Aw, what's the worst that could happen on a pass play? A turnover? Failure on fourth down results in a turnover anyway! I'm just looking at a trend here:

That's what we're looking at as we get ready to call the fourth down play. Five situations where we needed to gain only one yard. We rushed on four of them each for no gain. The only and-1 play we converted was a pass. So what we do with the game on the line?
