Pass rush should not be an issue on 3rd and 3. It is funny to hear people say that it would be impossible to stop burrow from throwing a 25 yard td pass when he can't even convert a gimme third and 3.
Plus you have to remember that Burrow is leading the league in interceptions and he had already thrown a horrible pick directly to a Niner defender earlier in the game that got wiped out by a penalty.
Throw in the fact that our defense was shutting down the niners and not allowed a TD in the second half.
Add that all together and there is no real problem with Zac running the ball to keep ahead of teh chains and set up the easy thrid down conversion.

He never said he made a mistake. Got back and listen to him and you will understand that if he had thrown the ball and it had nto worked he would have lost just as much sleep over that decision.
This is a big problem with fans. They act like when they watch the game live they make every correct call on every play. They never mention the times they are calling for a pass and it gets intercepted or we break off a long run. EVERYONE is an expert with "no questions in their mind" when they have the benefit of hindsigth. In fact I am sure a lot of them were calling for us to keep throwing every down when we got inside the 30 but there is no guarantee that if we did pass we would have scored a td.
