We might see bigger commitment to the run late in games
Unless he changes his plan dramatically, we may see a big difference late in games under new Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
In 2023, according to a recent tweet by NFL analyst Warren Sharp, as the Chicago Bears’ offensive coordinator, Getsy called the second most run plays in the second half of games while losing. The Raiders were on the other end of the spectrum last season under their previous regime. Las Vegas ran the ball when losing in the second half at just the 23rd highest rate.
Here is the complete list
teams that called run plays the most often when losing in the 2nd half:
1. ATL
2. CHI
3. BUF
4. LAR
5. PIT
6. IND
7. TEN
8. NE
9. CAR
10. DET
11. DAL
12. CLE
13. PHI
14. NO
15. MIA
16. LAC
17. DEN
18. ARI
19. NYG
20. BAL
21. GB
22. SEA
23. LV
24. HOU
25. WAS
26. CIN
27. KC

Look, evert situation is different, but clearly Getsy is comfortable with staying committed to running the ball late in games even when his team is behind. So, we should probably expect an increase in those plays.
