But on further reflection, as I noticed they were loading the box and were prepared to sell out on a pass rush, I realized that the risk of taking a sack by throwing the ball was non-zero. The cost of taking a sack is much greater than the 1-2 yard loss we got just running JT up the middle.
I don't think we had this luxury. Risk a sack, risk a penalty, of don't take those risks and risk a 60 yard FG.
