Then ZT decided punting was better than letting your franchise savoir and trillion dollar QB make you look like a real HC.  Alas, the narrative hath spun upon a dime I say.

Yeah , that decision to not put the game in Burrow's hands i did not understand. 

Given the Pats the ball and asking them to run the time off the clock , when that was what they had been doing all day seemed way too risk averse and cautious... if the defense had been playing lights out then might have understood it more but they sure as hell were not yesterday
