But we intercepted with 4:03 left with a 21-6 lead at the Cleveland 30. Already in FG range to seal the game. An 18 point lead under 4 minutes is the goal here as they burned all 3 timeouts. Seems strategic to me. Of course he misses. But still they have no timeouts. They have to score twice and make a 2 point conversion with no timeouts in under 4 minutes. This game he was right. McPherson not making the field goal was the only flaw here.

No doubt that if Burrow drops back on 1st down and throws a tipped pick, fans are yelling 'why didn't you just run and kick for a 18pt lead?'.
It worked out. It just didn't "feel" as good, because of the final score. I'm still not even close to a fan of his play calling though.
I think moving the goal posts changes the entire argument though. My beef is doing this with over 6 minutes left in the game, not under 4... totally different circumstances.
