When the jags win, remember that sequence… unsuccessful challenge. Dumb TE sneak, punt on 4th and an inch.

Number 68 on the Jags is having a bad game. He is in charge of watching Lawrence and then signaling the center to snap it. But he is not getting his head around and Lawrence is making business decisions because he’s fearing guys coming at him right up the middle.

Huge home field advantage. Jags just not really prepared with clean silent count mechanics.

You absolutely take that penalty. Force them to get 10+ yards.

But, then don't play prevent and give up 13 yards easily.

I would have declined, but I get why they didn’t.
Me too. But credit to Peterson for making a hard call on the road in a big game.

Peterson playing to win there. He has seen his offense’s struggles and he trusted his defense. Would have been awesome if the defense could have made abig play but they didn’t.

I get that I’m showing my age, but holy shit I remember when a 48-50 yards was considered a long field goal. Today, 50 is the new 35. These kickers make them with 10-15 yards to spare.

Needless to say, accepting that penalty was pretty dumb.
I disagree. Kelce had to make a nice play for the decision to be essentially a wash. Was worth the chance of forcing a longer FGA, or even a punt.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m listening on the radio and the announcer said by getting the yardage on third down, they got the Kansas City kicker into reasonable field-goal range. 50 yards is now reasonable field goal range
