I actually would have heavily considered going for it on 4th down if I were the 9r's. If the 9r's don't get the TD, and the Chiefs have the ball inside their own 10 yard line, the Chiefs would have had a completely different mentality on offense at that point. They are probably playing a little defense on offense, and they're certainly not going for 4th and 1 inside their own 35 yd line. I completely understand why the 9r's kicked the FG, but you could make a pretty solid case for going for it as well, especially when you didn't need a TD on that 4th down play, because a 1st down was still available.
