In reply to: Shanahan explained that was his rationale posted by jt

Which I believe both Reid and Shanahan would have done if they scored second. Taking the ball first was not smart. Shanahan brought up analytics and a “third possession”. Well analytics would have told him to go for 2 and the win. Shanahan has killed his teams in the Super Bowl 3 times as a play caller now. I hope he can get another chance soon but you just never know.

Knowing exactly what you need and how many downs to use on the one guaranteed possession you will get is far better than banking on getting a second possession.
