Who won?
It is some level of condescending I cant even explain to call something "obvious" that literally didnt happen. This played out in front of your eyes, and you are calling it "obvious". You dont play for a possession you might not even see. In the Super Bowl? Come on.
You can play this game all day. If they get the 3rd possession and punt, and if they get KC to punt, then they can win it on the 5th possession or the 7th possession. Maybe they play until March and win it on the 308th possession. All I know is, they did it your way - and KC added a Lombardi to their trophy case. I dont know what more proof you need.
It was an ultra dumb decision. Youll never see it again in the playoffs. No coach is ever going to make that mistake again.
