If we run 5 yards after the 2 minute warning and burn 45 seconds then we have 1:15 to go 29 yards. At that point we pretty much have to burn a time out on any play where we try to use the middle of the field or run the ball.
I don't know why you are all acting like we could just gain yards and score a TD whenever we wanted considering we had not scored a single point the entire second half. It is easy to make these decisions with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, but after watching the Bengals' offense get completely shut down for the entire second half it did not make a lot of sense to worry about "scoring too quickly".
I don't know why you don't understand that they DID score a TD with over a minute left. Therefore, if they had used more of the play clock, there would have been less time left.
Holey sheet. This isn't rocket surgery.
