A run play is all-or-nothing. They had no timeouts left -- couldn't stop the clock for the FG if they get stuffed. That isn't terribly smart football.
The mistake here was on Ben, not the coaches. Terrible decision.
Seattle SB was on the coaches, IMHO, FWIW.

I'm talking about what happened before they punted to the Patriots with 2:16 left. It was 4th and 1 and Tomlin went full coward and punted.
