We all said ZT couldn't coach...

You can't settle for field goals when you play the Chiefs with Mahomes, unless down and distance dictates it. That's why so many other coaches lose to KC consistently and why Taylor is so aggressive in these games. Give Joe the ball, good things will most likely happen.  

I think you will start to see a real renaissance where teams start valuing complete ball control over clock management/killing the clock. Unless you are killing the clock down to less than 30 seconds, it honestly doesn't matter. There's a ton more value in just gambling and throwing the ball and picking up first downs. All teams need to drive down the field these days and be in field goal range is about 30 seconds. I loved the call to pass the ball on 3rd and 11 and try to close out the game last Sunday. 

Also, that play was on Burrow. ZT said he gives Joe 3 plays and that was Joe's ultimate decision to pass to try and pick up that 3rd down. It was actually the exact same play they ran against the Rams that the lost the Super Bowl on.
