There is aggressive and smart, aggressive and dumb, conservative and smart and finally conservative and dumb. The point of the game is to win. Running the ball 3 times there is conservative and smart. A 21 point lead going into the 2nd half is almost too much to overcome. A win by 30 points counts just as much as a win by 1 point.
Granted I like to see aggressiveness when you're deciding between conservative and aggressive and it's a decision that is "on the fence". For instance, Marvin rarely goes for 4th down when across the 50. He punts. He's defensive minded. Marvin also kneels when he has two timeouts and minute left in a half when he has a lead of 3 points. It's maddening.
He should have run the ball 3 times. He could have potentially had a FG and a 24 point lead. Worst case is a 21 point lead. That's conservative and smart.

To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
