the importance of Taylor trying to score with less than a minute in the 1st half.
There were times where Marvin Lewis would try to score with less than a minute but those times were rare. IIRC, it was basically if we were down more than 2 scores and the other team was getting the ball first in the 2nd half, THEN Marv would try to score.
In every other situation, Marvin would call a running play and if it got a huge chunk of yardage, he would try to get at least a FG, but usually it didn't and he'd run the clock out.
We were only down 4 points, but Taylor still tried to score even though there was less than a minute to go and, lo and behold we scored!
I hope he continues to be aggressive.
