With 3:37 left, and down 21-24, my thoughts were: score!
There was no guarantee we could move the ball at all. I feared a 4 and out more than Brady getting the ball back. We had been stymied all day for the most part. It was the offense job to do whatever possible to score.
In the Chiefs Rams game, with less than 2 minutes left and considering the ease with which we moved the ball, I agree that shorter routes would’ve been a wiser option
But this 21-24 game in which we had been shutdown for most of the game didn’t call for a 4 minute offense. We needed our very best plays to score in any way possible
