Why did we kick the field goal with 11 seconds left?
Why not take a shot at the end zone. With Mahomes from the 20 something I like our chances. Take a shot then kick

The pats were dropping 7 or 8 guys back into the endzone and or at the goal line:

I think I counted that they had 6 guys IN the endzone 3 on the DL and 2 guys inside the 5. With no timeout, they weren't giving up a TD.

Too many things could've gone wrong throwing into the endzone there. Pats had the entire endzone covered with their safeties and corners.

Baldinger had a great clip on this. Mahomes ****ed it up. He had Williams wide open and could’ve gotten to about the 9 with 10 seconds left. Mahomes threw it to the back of the end zone instead.

That's a little strongly worded. A checkdown is still an incredibly dangerous play. If rather take the 50/50 of a coin toss than the huge risk of trying to pull off a small % chance at a td. One sack or player not going out of bounds and game is over.

It didn't look dangerous at all it would have been a catch and right out of bounds. |

I wouldn’t. Also, Mahomes has a mental clock telling him not to get sacked. Ultimately this was probably a trust issue with Williams. Can’t really blame Mahomes |

He's going toward the sideline, he'd have been out of bounds in 2 steps.

Throwing to Williams was the correct decision
However, he may have feared Williams would’ve turned it up field and been tackles in bounds. It may have been a trust issue. Personally I think Mahomes was going endzone or throwaway regardless. But it’s possible he simply didn’t trust Williams to get out of bounds |

Like WTF? Not trust him, why do you ever throw to him then? Mental clock.... tick tick tick, your mental clock isn't working. In Reality, he just missed seeing Williams open along the side line just like he missed him with an open throw..... it's football, these things happen, Pat is human too !! Just like the Dee Ford penalty! Just like not scoring any points the 1st half! It's football and these little things are the things as a team they need to grow and improve on. Experience is the best teacher!

I don't think they thought they had no chance and didn't want to risk it.
