It's football, it doesn't always work. It's just like surprise fake punts or whatever. If it works the coach is a genius, if it fails he's a moron.

Aggressive is one thing, but knowing the situation and when to be aggressive is another. That was not the time to be aggressive, it was the time to be smart. They had the ball coming out of halftime. Run the ball, make Baltimore burn TOs, punt and make them go 80+ yds in a minute with 0 TO. They maybe get a FG, but probably not a TD and a huge momentum swing. Coming out at half..... Then you be Aggressive and go for the kill shot. A quick TD on the first drive of he half 35-10..... Game Over. Fortunately it worked out, but not a good call burning a series in 14 seconds and letting them score before the half.
