At first I thought they should let them score, from an analytical/math perspective.
But then I had to remind myself that football is a lot more than analytics per say. It's about heart, momentum, and playing hard. The things that can't be calculated by the so call analytic x's/o's so called wizzes out there. And at that point in the game, the defense had shut the Chiefs down from the last play of the first half to that point. Telling them to let the Chiefs score would have just been gut wrenching, and such a letdown of trust. So yeah, ride the defense out and let the birds fly where they may. Thats what I was thinking at least.
