Assuming we score a TD. And if we go for the TD we practically guarantee cincy touches the ball last where at least in a fg scenario you leave some reasonable hope to get one last offensive possession. The way our defense played yesterday I trusted them to give up a score quickly than I would trust them to protect a 4 point lead with plenty of time left.

Even if you get the ball back, it's gonna be with little time and no time outs. YOu can't continue to work in that situation.

Go score a TD then let your defense play.

What the **** are you talking about? If KC goes for it and eventually scores a TD, there’s a good chance they leave about a minute on the clock and cincinatti with zero timeouts.

This was my thinking in the game thread; when the Chiefs got the ball, I had a feeling it was the last time they would touch the ball. The pass on 3rd down and the 4th down kick made absolutely no sense.

From that field position, I was expecting the Chiefs to get a few more first downs, force the Bengals to use their timeouts and score the go ahead TD with about 35 seconds left.

Playing scared to lose; when you let what you fear guide your decisions, you are choosing what you fear.
