That is NEVER a good strategy even if it worked this time. They swallow their whistles either time and it's a turnover on downs.

It also meant Burrow was going to be put into two giant pile-ups which predictably led to his knee getting re-tweaked.

So you're wrong.

I like the aggressiveness but you need to be careful in that situation.  From a defensive standpoint they are probably coached to do anything they can to stop the play, including holding every receiver.  The worst that can happen is a redo so it's smart to hold every player and hope the refs miss it.

For what it's worth I was screaming at Zac on my TV for going for it a 2nd time.  Glad it turned out.  Whew!
