I don't think it can be understated

There were times where Marvin Lewis would try to score with less than a minute but those times were rare. IIRC, it was basically if we were down more than 2 scores and the other team was getting the ball first in the 2nd half, THEN Marv would try to score.

In every other situation, Marvin would call a running play and if it got a huge chunk of yardage, he would try to get at least a FG, but usually it didn't and he'd run the clock out.

We were only down 4 points, but Taylor still tried to score even though there was less than a minute to go and, lo and behold we scored!

I hope he continues to be aggressive.

On sports radio they said the Bengals never scored a TD when getting the ball in similar situations (same yardage, same amount of time on the clock) in 16 years under Marvin. Pretty telling!
