I just wanted to be aggressive and I think we win if Burrow has the ball in his hands. But I would've been fine if we ran on 3rd down and then again on 4th if we came up short.
To me, that is what a run on second signaled. A run on third down wouldn't have been the worst idea, Cincinnati probably had the numbers to run a draw there. Here is the look immediately after snap...

They would have had to contend with those two backers on a draw, relying on Hopkins and Spain to get their guys but they may have had some room. I wonder if there was any conversation regarding this. I also wonder if Burrow was sent to the line with a run but didn't like the look pre-snap. They crowded the line.
