Check it down, which you have alluded to in other posts, and we are probably punting too.
The strip sack on the play before placed us behind the numbers on 3rd down. That was the play that really "forced" anything.
I don't have a problem with Mahomes going for it on 3rd and long. It's paid off for us many times over his short career. i hope he never loses that edge.

There have been a couple of articles with full breakdowns about Mahomes performance in the SB and they all came to the conclusion is that Mahomes really didn't play badly, even with the 3rd quarter factored in. I'll have to see if I can find one of them.
