Over the past few years, you might have noticed small changes in how football is being played. Nowadays, more and more teams are making decisions on the field that wouldn’t have been made 10-20 years ago. For example, the 2017-18 Super Bowl winning Philadelphia Eagles team led the league in two-point conversion attempts and also ranked close to the top in fourth-down attempts. This wasn’t just by coincidence; the rise of analytics has influenced many coaches and teams to change their style of play. This could range from clock management to deciding whether to kick a field goal or not.
As analytics become more prevalent with each season, a turning point for the Chicago Bears franchise has arrived. With significant changes in the front office and coaching staff, it seems like the Bears have finally caved and are going to heavily incorporate analytics this upcoming season. With the entrance of new GM Ryan Poles also came new methods and approaches on how to win.
