Ben aggressive in crunch time – hard counts, defenders react, Ben now knows coverage

The question is:  Did Andy have the ability to assess the Defense and audible to something better or not during those 2 pass plays ?

                                     -OR-

         Were they running those plays no matter what ? (even if the Coverage/Defense seemed to counter those type of plays pre-snap)



  Can Andy audible to AJ to react say to man or Zone coverage the way Big Ben and Antonio Brown are doing?  


  Or are we just running plays more often than not ?  (especially in Crunch Time)
