It cost the Bills a trip to the championship game. It had every Cinci fan holding their breath. If you want something dead, you don't give life to something mostly dead. It's simple time management.

I'm not saying there weren't smarter moves. I'm saying a coach might be more comfortable w/his starters doing their assignments than the 3rd string TE's & SS's staying in their lanes on the KO coverage. He'd rather tell one kicker to "kick it & rip it" than tell 11 individual brains have to execute a plan.
