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

One thing I have noticed is that the Eagles do extend alot of drives using the tush push even if they are in their own side of the field.

Hard to quantify how big of an advantage that really is but I do recall one drive where they used it multiple times to just keep the drive alive and score with it.
