You have these superstar skill players who have made plays all game and then with the game on the line you run 3 Pee Wee football dive plays.
Even if you want to run the ball three time - running them all out of heavy sets where you are basically holding up a sign that says “we’re going to run and we are playing for a 50+ yard FG” is beyond dumb. If Burrow checked out of a pass, exactly what look were they looking for from them defense in the heavy formation they were in.
The decision making was absolutely mind-boggling to me. It was playing not to lose plain and simple.
This is not the first time we have seen Zac pucker up at the end of games.
