But that last play on 3rd and 11 tells you everything you know about the aggressiveness of this team.
Regarding passing on 3rd and 11, with the risk of an incompletion and clock stoppage, look at what Mayfield did last night. A 98-yard drive with 1:45 on the clock and no time outs, down six, that ended in the game-winning TD. It puts an emphasis on the wisdom of not running the ball on 3rd and 11 to kill clock and kicking a field goal to go up 6 -- only to turn the ball over to Mahommes with maybe 1:20 on the clock starting at the 25.
