Falling down short ends the game
Scoring is the only way the chargers have a chance |

I can understand Andy. More plays more problems and no play is safer than a kneel down.

Unless if you scored it’s still a 1 possession game than you always score

They have a bigger chance if he fell down because they could hope for a fumbled snap or something. Remember the chiefs/chargers Halloween game? Posted via Mobile Device |

Fluky shit happens that you can't plan for, you ALWAYS take the points when the opportunity is there. A 2 TD lead is much better than one at the end of the game, no matter which team has the ball. |

Vs being down 2 scores with 1:50 ish left. Odds are low either way, but kneeling it is a higher probability |

And what happens if the fumbled snap happens on first down vs. 3rd down? Then Rivers has 1:45 to negotiate a 95 yard drive only down 7. You'd rather have that possible scenario than him having the ball at his own 25, down 14, with 1:50 to play? That makes no sense. |

The TD happened right after the 2 minute warning. After the TD, the Chargers had 1:49 and a TO. The Eagles almost came back from 2 TDs in the same amount of time.
I was actually thinking during Hunt's run that maybe he should take a knee at the 5 yard line. The Chiefs could have kneeled down 3 times, forcing the Chargers to use their TO. Then kick a short FG, making the Chargers two scores down with about 20 seconds left. That said, fluky shit can happen like having the FG blocked and returned for a TD or a fumble (ala Rivers at Arrowhead a few years ago). Even though the Eagles almost came back, being down 2 TDs with less than 2 minutes left requires a lot of stuff to happen to tie it up so scoring on the long run was the best call, imo. |
