I'm not advocating for us taking an end zone shot. But let Patrick keep getting chunks of yardage to at least set Butker up for a chip shot. We absolutely did not have to run the ball there. That kind of thinking is why we lost.

It was a 2nd a 3, and considering we were on there, what, 30-ish yard line with all of our timeout and in no danger of not picking up a first, running the ball the right call.
Considering where we were and how many timeouts, and the down and distance, the call made sense. On top of the fact that there was about 50seconds too much on the clock.
And like you said, they likely would have to burn their last timeout. All CEH had to do was not fumble. He didn't even have to pick up the 1st. They still had another down to do that. All he had to do was not fumble.
