However if he runs for a 5 yard gain to start the clock at the 2 min warning, and we take off the 45 seconds before making the next play, which should be a pass play to only get the 1st down, then hurry up and run another play to try and get another 1st down it would help burn out the clock, while also moving the ball forward.
We were still 34 yards from the end zone at the 2 minute warning. If we run 5 yards after the 2 minute warning and burn 45 seconds then we have 1:15 to go 29 yards. At that point we pretty much have to burn a time out on any play where we try to use the middle of the field or run the ball.
I don't know why you are all acting like we could just gain yards and score a TD whenever we wanted considering we had not scored a single point the entire second half. It is easy to make these decisions with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, but after watching the Bengals' offense get completely shut down for the entire second half it did not make a lot of sense to worry about "scoring too quickly".
