Those are all solid points but contextually and situationally, the smart call is to run - because in that particular moment, the Falcons couldn’t stop the clock and time was a factor.
If Atlanta still had a time out left, then that play call is less risky because you have already lost the element of running out precious time on a running play.
So again, the old “no risk it, no biscuit” saying is true in a lot of cases but situationally, it wasn’t the best decision.
Conservative play really annoys fans - but there are times when it really works - so long as it’s not the overall philosophy of the team.
