The goal was to keep it a 3 point game, making it easier for Mahomes to tie and maybe win the game, albeit with less time and no timeouts.
The point is, letting them score increases our chances of winning by like a 1-2%. You're burning Reid at the stake over an incredible negligible decision when we likely already lost. You're crying over nothing.
