Quick thoughts on the game

Yeah, and really we should've just been awarded the first down.

If we were in the situation we've been in for years going back to sub-prime Vinatieri, I'd feel different. Or if Gay gets a shot and ends up shorting some of these long kicks, I'd feel different.

But he's boomed accurate, mid-50's kicks with plenty of extra room. I trust Steichen to perform whatever calculus, in the context of a given game, and decide if a long FG is any more risky than going for a 4th down near mid-field.

I wouldn't think freak Myles Garrett blocking the kick is typically part of that equation (especially since even he needed assistance).
