Not my logic. Just a direct quote from Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes on loss to Bengals: 'We were playing not to lose' - Tuesday, August 9, 2022 - CapperTek
"If you look, they didn't do much different from the first half to the second half. We just didn't execute at a high enough level. They were playing the same coverages and we weren't executing. Then momentum gets in the other team's favor and when you're playing a good football team, bad stuff happens."

So the argument that a team can be harmed by "playing not to lose" is "asinine"?
Good thing no one here ever made that argument before. They might be offended by your take on this.
