Everybody's assumption is that if we punted, it was gonna make things better, for all we know it could have been returned all the way for a TD on the punt (nothing more demoralizing than an easy TD).
The moral victory here is that Zac had confidence on Burrow and company and went for it. They didn't get it but in OT again 4th and inches, they went for it and got that "trick" play according to an article out there, saying Zac gave Burrow two plays to pick from, the one they successfully got or likely a run stuff. Burrow made the right choice and got us close for the FG and victory. Had Zac played it safe again, it would have been a tie at best or a Viking TD.
Everyone complaining wanted the traditional, safer, play of choice. Zac is my least favorite "player" on the team, but he got it right here.
