You should go for it on 4th down almost every time unless you are deep deep in your own territory. You play to win the game, hello?
The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes are also forcing other teams to play this way. You think if they were playing the Jets or the Bears the Chargers would have went for it on 4th and 4 or 4th and 9 instead of kicking a FG? Hell no. They are scared as **** that Mahomes will get the ball and drive down the field and score. The Chiefs are forcing teams to play analytically correct football.
You know how I felt when I found out the Chargers were going for it instead of kicking a FG? Like a balloon out of air. |
I get what you're saying but only one of Pat's three INTs this season was a 3rd down arm punt, dude. The first one was a ridiculously risky, dumbass play and the second was a result of him unnecessarily complicating things.
