I know Butker is one of the best in the league but a 55 yarder isn't great odds for anyone and even if he hits it, you're giving the ball back to Burrow with 3 minutes left. In that scenario I'm keeping Mahomes and company on the field and going for it on 4th and 5. If its 4th & 8 or longer I am probably okay with the decision to kick the field goal, I'm just very confident in the offense converting when it's 5 or less for the first down.
The combination of the time left and facing a very good QB and offense just makes the decision a little bit puzzling to me. If the roles were switched and it was the Bengals driving down by 3, wouldn't you be happy that Cincy was taking their young stud QB off the field to attempt a long ass field goal to only tie the game?
