I actually think, if Mahomes is there, he DEFINITELY GOES.
Because Mahomes can pick up that first down with his legs.
Matt Moore CAN'T, most likely, and it makes it a huge risk if the coverage is right.
The game would be OVER, right then, right there, because GB is getting at least 3 points with that field position.
It's too risky.
This was situational football, and the situation was - Matt Moore is too limited for me to risk this game on one snap.
So he punted and hoped his defense could get a stop, a stop which he likely was going to need anyway to win the game.
It's not perfect, but it has a certain logic to it.
