4th&1
What is 4th and 1 in football?
The fourth and one is the down and distance option typical only for NFL. This play is impossible in Canada and some other leagues as there are three downs. This down is make or break it because the fail changes possession and team roles. The offense turns in defenders ad vice versa.

This episode happens in the 10-yard area near the goal line. The offense could reach that distance in the first down, but then the effective defenders stopped these attempts. The short distance opens the field for handoffs or sneaks. Pass or running are typical solutions here. Field goals or drop kicks aren’t always effective. Any statistic doesn’t guarantee the success. Defenders must be accurate to intercept the ball.
