He made the wrong one every time.

Would I have preferred they run the ball at the end of regulation in hindsight? Yes.

But I would be a hypocrite if I blamed Andy for putting the ball in Pat's hands after asking him to do that in previous situations.

Just needed to execute better.

That's the issue. Mahomes has to take a sack or throw an incompletion if you pass. That's the one scenario where you run and take it out of his hands.

By running on 2nd down, you have a more manageable play on 3rd down. Instead, they basically forced Mahomes to take a sack.
