How big of an advantage is it for the Eagles to only have to get 9 yards instead of 10 (alien.top)

With the tush push being so effective, they effectively only have to get 9 yards every three downs. So what kind of advantage does it give them

We converted 4th and 1 on our own 30 in the first quarter against the cowboys. I don’t think any other team goes for it, so it is certainly helpful

When you guys were going for it, I thought it was a crazy decision. But now I know, no team in the league can defend it lmao
