It's possible that Taylor felt that the 49ers were going to expect a pass given their CBs were banged up and that's what was driving down the field. He tried to throw a curveball by running, hoping to catch them off guard. It clearly didn't work.
He might have been trying to catch them off guard. I know he said afterwards that they were in a very run friendly look but it was like that all game he said. I just wanted to be aggressive and I think we win if Burrow has the ball in his hands. But I would've been fine if we ran on 3rd down and then again on 4th if we came up short.
