With most NFL games going down to the wire, some proponents of analytic research believe that going for more two-point conversions can flip some of those close games.

The Falcons went 8-8 last season, losing three NFC South games by three, four and three points. They also had a one-point loss to San Francisco and a three-point loss to Indianapolis.

If they won those five close games, their record would have been a much different 13-3.
