As for Steichen, I firmly believe that 4th down call was the sole reason that the game ended up close. They were up by 10 midway through the 3rd quarter. Tampa hadn’t really moved the ball consistently all day. Mayfield was gimpy.
There was not a single good reason for going for it there and about a hundred good reasons against it.
It was a horrible call and I still can’t figure out why he did it. It’s not like it was 4th and inches. It was 4th and 6 if I remember correctly.
You punt that ball all day every day.
The only thing I can think of as to why they went for it there is Steichen wanted to put his foot on their throats right then and there. But it’s an awful decision because, if it doesn’t work, it completely flips the momentum of the game.
Which is exactly what happened.

I agree, maybe with a better QB you do that kind of thing, but not Minshew, there is not enough room for Error. I was also a bit put off by the lack of running the ball in the first half, we have 2 legit RB1s, fucking use that and not have a top 30 QB throw every play, even if TB is a great run D at least pretend you are a solid running team.
