That obviously needs to be balanced against deferring and knowing the minimum of what you need.
I’d probably favor deferring but it’s close.

Yup. Not to mention it helps to know if you’re playing with 4 down territory. Would the chiefs have played more conservative versus us playing with some late down desperation? The 49ers sure as hell wouldn’t have settled for a FG knowing they had to match a TD.
It was definitely a mess up for shanahan
