3rd down, yeah, pass to get someone off guard. If the situation is right, go for a dagger.

Against the Texans, the chiefs failed to convert 3rd or 4th and short on 4 of 7 plays running the ball.
They converted 6 of 8 attempts passing the ball in those same situations.
I have no problem with the idea of passing on either down, but do it out of a play action, which worked well against the Texans.
