Here's what really bothered me about this game, and about lots of other NFL games. Why do coaches who have the superior team often try to "shorten the game," even when it's a close game. I think that the longer the game, i.e., the more plays that are run, would increase the more talented team's chances of winning.* So why does this always happen? Especially when I have a financial interest in the outcome?
*For a corrollary, I think it is self-evident that if tennis sets went to a tiebreak after 2 games, there would be a greater chance of upsets then if they went to a tiebreak after 20 games.
