Plays that backfire near the goal line (it was the one-yard line and you have Marshall Lynch). Fake punts with there is like 8 yards to go and that end up turning the ball over.
I've been impressed with Taylor in some of the biggest games. For example, look at the first time the Burrow-led Bengals beat KC, when they masterfully ran the clock down so Mahomes had no time for a comeback. And Taylor had to work with some severe injuries to key players in some of those big games.
It seems every week I see some headscratcher from other coaches.
I would say running the clock down against KC in that 1st matchup wasn't really masterful. Extremely awkward and extremely lucky probably describes it best.
