1st down on that last series was a Cook run for 1 yard and 3rd down was a throwaway, but it was 3rd and long in the 4th quarter. That’s 100% the exact sort of thing Mahomes would do to try to WIN the game, not just tie it. They were already at the 26 yard line. You should be able to trust your kicker to nail that from that distance.

If Mahomes were in that position and had the first down play available? He's going to take the first down and leave nothing on the clock for Allen, even if he gets stopped short of the end zone and has to rely on his kicker for a shorter tying field goal.
