This paper analyzes the factors contributing to an NFL team’s offensive ability to efficiently reach field goal range during the final six minutes of regulation. The data is constructed from 2009 - 2011 NFL regular season games examining various in-game factors that affect an offensive unit’s total time taken to reach field goal range. Through regression analysis, the most significant factors discovered affecting total time were the impact of starting time, the number of offensive timeouts used, and the number of offensive timeouts taken. These findings could alter in-game coaching decisions for an NFL head coach.
