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.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not absolving Clyde of blame. He needs to hold onto the damn ball.
Taking the ball out of the best player in the world's hands in crunch time is just a complete non starter to me though.
