That decision by Vrabel may have wound up costing the Titans the game.

They had the Bengals by the balls after Joe Burrow was sacked on 3rd down to knock them out of field-goal range, and then they (the Titans) drove down the field to get into long field-goal range themselves immediately after that ...... I think that playing the percentages and being relatively conservative was the way to go at that point in the game. It would have essentially been a 6-point swing if Vrabel had chosen the path that I suggested, and 6 points in a game like this in which points are at a premium is huge.

The Bengals still would have had plenty of time to drive down field and kick a game-tying field goal or even get a go-ahead touchdown, but it would have been harder for them to do so because of the pressure that would have been on them due to what would have been a 3-point deficit (instead of the game being tied, as it was.)
