I found myself wondering about pace and if teams try to dictate it. It's a long held belief that teams can or should employ strategies around the pace of play to help them in games where they might be outmatched. Without any evidence to prove it, this feels like the most commonly mentioned strategy by fans and talking heads. Any time a mediocre offensive team goes up against a good offensive team you hear, they need to keep the pace slow to have a chance. Gotta limit the scoring opportunities for the better offensive team and muddy the game up. I decided to see if I could find any evidence that this is happening.
