In 2013, it was 69% run success, 52% pass success. This year's numbers aren't there yet, obviously.

(cool search engine for such things: here)

Changing it to match the situation a bit better (last 2 mins, defense up by 4, 1 yard, 2nd down), 4/4 run plays were successful (100%) vs 8/12 for pass plays (67%). Note that in this kind of situation, NFL teams attempted 12 passes vs 4 runs in 2013 (though the success rates are right there to see). Also note that this is all 1-2 yards to go situations; not just goal line situations.

Strangely enough, for this season it was 61% from the pass with 109 attempts and 58% from the run with 223 attempts. Wilson's interception was also the only interception that occurred when passing it in that situation.

Add to that Lynch was 1-5 this year from the 1 and that the Pats had their run unit on the field, it think passing in on 2nd down was a wise decision, but imo Wilson made a poor pass and Butler was lucky he guessed the play correctly because if it was a fake, the WD would've been completely wide open, like during the 'Hawks 2nd or 3rd touchdown.

As a strictly pocket passer? Maybe. As a "field marshal", i.e. the guy who stands under center every snap and decides what to do from there? I don't think so. Results are heavily skewed in Brady's favour, especially in the post season.
