Reid actually made the right decision.
To win the game, you have to stop Rodgers AT SOME POINT. Even if you score a TD, you have to then stop Rodgers to win the game.
So Andy basically said,
"We have to stop him at some point, so let's see if they can do it when he's not trying to throw on every play."
And it almost worked.
If the Chiefs had stopped them, gotten the ball back at midfield, scored a TD and 2 point conversion with <30 seconds left, Reid would have looked like a goddamn genius punting.
It's on the players.
