Yeah I’d be pretty upset punting there. Stopping them twice with a chance to tie at the end seems less likely than converting, scoring, and stopping them once for a chance to tie. [Reply]

I mean, yeah. If they don't convert that 4th down, they're giving BAL the ball on their own side of the field, right? Basically just giving the game away. Punting was the only thing to do there. [Reply]

If we had beaten the Bills last week we could have sewn up the #1 seed after week 14 if the Steelers lose one more game. One of those “happens for a reason” things that could end up being a positive since right now the Chiefs may have to win out and play their best ball to keep the #1 seed. [Reply]
