If Burrow had been sacked or there had been a holding call or a tipped-ball interception or offensive-pass interference or intentional grounding to try and avoid the pass rush and the hindsight of the fans would be that it was moronic to run plays that could push them out of field goal range. 

Mac is 49 of 64 from 40+ for his career. He is HARDLY automatic from that distance. Compare that to 38 of 39 from less than 40.  They should've tried to move the ball.  Nobody is going to question them going for a shorter kick when it's over 50 and 1st and 10 with plenty of time.
