We all said ZT couldn't coach...

You honestly think that KC and Andy Reid and Mahomes would have not tried to get into field goal position if they start at the 25? That Andy Reid used the KC timeouts not trying to save time on the clock to go down and score before the half?

There are a lot of plays one can nitpick and second guess after the fact, but I believe almost any coach in the world would have went for it. Heck, Andy Reid went for it on 4th and 3. I think the players would have blanched if their coach didn't show enough faith in them to get that 4th down.

And Taylor deserved to get credit for going for it on 3rd and 11 on the last drive of the game. Even Higgens said he was surprised that they weren't going to run the ball. Most coaches would tell the team to run the ball and take time off the clock and kick the 3 and go up 6. But Zac didn't want to put the ball back in Mahomes hands with the chance to beat them with a TD. So, he put it in the hands of the Bengals best player to go and win the game. 

Yep, same as he didn't want to give Mahommes a shot last year in Cincy on that crazy goal line sequence. They're just too dangerous to take your foot off the throttle.
