It also is what Pittsburgh did to us in this game.
I am fine with Mixon scoring. I am not fine with not utilizing all three downs more effectively.
We had only 1 run play after the 2 min warning. That play happened to be on the TD. All that run play did was stop the clock.
The point is the HC, OC or QB, needs to have situational awareness to throw in a run play or 2 (depending on them taking their TOs) to get the clock going. To milk the clock as much as possible. We played hurry up and was just trying to score as fast as we could. Either we make Pittsburgh burn a TO or make them regret NOT calling TOs by scoring at a time when it wouldn't matter how many TOs they have. We have 4 chances to get a 1st down. I am not saying go to 4th down every time, but the game's outcome would have been different if we ran on 1st down on a few after the 2 min warning.
