You have to consider the current dynamics in the game though... the Chiefs defense was getting shredded by the Bengals, having just given up a 3rd and 27 conversion AND the refs were calling a ridiculously tight game in terms of defensive penalties.
Given those two dynamics, the probability of the Chiefs holding the Bengals to 3 and still leaving enough time for Mahomes to respond was not good.
