You honestly think they don't?

No, it doesn't.

Take a defensive team like Baltimore or Pitt.

You really think they'd worry about going up 3 and holding the other team?

On OFFENSE.

In KC.

Over the last 2 decades.

You think defensive coordinators stand slobbering on the sidelines with juice boxes while rolling dice?

"Do I blitz and hope the pressure forces incompletions and a 3 n' out? Do I go soft zone with a sad azz QB and wait for HIM to make the mistake? Do I play man or zone facing a WR like Moss or a pass catching HB like Jones-Drew?"

None of those decisions become any less important under the new rule change. The only difference is the length of the game.
