Running teams have too much that have to go right to win

Running teams have too much that have to go right to win. You have to get on top and control the flow of the game from the get go and there are just so many dynamic passing teams out there where you are going to be put in situations where you have to score and score quickly to stay in the game.

The 3rd down conversions my guess are a product of 3rd and longs on getting the run stuffed all too often as well.
