I get running on 1st.. we didn't need that much in terms of yardage. Though personally, I'd be spreading the lineup and throwing the ball on 1st. We'd had great success doing so nearly all game. Incomplete pass and you can run it on 2nd... the Ravens might be less likely to stack the box on 2nd & 10. I think we should have lined up wide on at least one play.
It's always hindsight, but 3 run plays when Burrow's been balling out just isn't a good look, especially when the FG you'll be playing for is a LONG one to WIN a game... I expected Mac to make it as well, but it was always miss-able (even with a good hold).
We have no idea what down that the pass was called. I would guess 2nd down, but who knows?
