1) The Jaguars punted on 4th-and-1 at their own 47 in the first quarter in a scoreless game against the Chargers.

2)The Browns went for it on 4th-and-1 at their own 44 *up 10 to 3* in the first quarter. Duke Johnson ran up the middle for one yard. The drive ultimately stalled.

3) The Packers went for it on 4th-and-1 with 55 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.
against the Bears. Green Bay was at the Bears 49 yard line, and up 13-6. Starting RB Jamaal Williams rushed for 4 yards, and the Packers ultimately kicked a FG on the drive.

So this year, teams have now been in this position 27 times. They have gone for it 12 times, rushing all 12 times, and have converted 10 of the 12 times.
