You know, the one's that KC is something like 40-2 against while Taylor is 3-0. Taking 3 is the safe thing to do. It's also how KC beats most people. When you're playing Mahomes, you have to score touchdowns. It's that simple. The proof is in the pudding as they say, or in this case, the record.

It's hard to make this argument when the Bengals did not get that TD and even threw away 3 points and still won handily while knocking on the door of the end zone at the games end. Going for it and failing had nothing to do with the victory, Burrow won despite doing that.
 
Just don't think a 7 point lead with KC getting the ball first in 2nd half was something to scoff at. Believe me, wanted the TD as well but they had just stuffed us on 2nd and inches with ease. 

The 3rd and 11 was a great play by Joe and Tee and I always dislike throwing short of the sticks when needing a 1st down, unless it's 3rd and forever. 

After deciding to go for it on the 4th down play though, really don't hate the play call because they had the middle stacked up so hard that the play before on the QB sneak, they got so much push Joe's feet were knocked out from under him backwards without any defender touching him it seems. They were not giving up the middle imo. 

Was thinking personally to roll Joe out with a pass or run option and pass if TE or Trent if they were absolutely wide open, yet believe Joe could have just walked in. Or give to the RB as you suggested but once again, don't think they were giving the middle up.
