You give yourself a chance to essentially keep them from ever having the ball with a chance to tie you.

Counterpoint: the Chiefs are poor in short yardage situations, though less so last night.
Second counterpoint: while you give yourself the chance to keep them from having the ball again with a chance to tie you, you also open yourself up to the possibility of getting the ball back with a 1 point deficit.
I was happy they didn’t go for 2. I felt great on that Eagles drive that the absolute worst case scenario is we’d get the ball back tied with Mahomes having an opportunity to do what he usually does.
