Obviously the Bengals did one and not the other given they have up a TD with like 8 seconds left in the half. If they run just once there's a good chance that doesn't happen. Grant it, I assume they thought they would be able to make at least 1 completion which would have accomplished the same thing.
You can't consider the exact same sequence by the Raven's if the TO is used. It's a butterfly effect, it changes things completely. Maybe they go deep earlier and get the same PI in the endzone? We will never know but going for the 1st down is aggressive and we wanted aggressive. I don't think it's poor clock management and neither would anyone else had they converted lol.
