The New Orleans Saints went for it on fourth down three times against the Los Angeles Rams, twice in the first half. But they failed to convert on any of their three attempts, and the first-half tries are what’s being criticized by fans and analysts alike. It showcased an aggressive nature that has been rare over the last two years. Saints head coach Dennis Allen explained the decision was spurred by the need to score touchdowns, not field goals against the Rams offense.
