Can't believe Kliff decided to punt it on 4th down in overtime while making a comeback nobody expected. Play for the win you coward
4th Down Study - Advanced Football Analytics 4th and 8 has about a 40% chance of making it. If you miss, Lions have a very good shot at getting into FG range and even if you get a quick stop, you probably don't have the time to drive all the way down the field. Punt like you did, and the Lions have a much harder time of getting into FG range. Plus, if you get a quick stop you can force a punt and probably have time to run a play or two to get into FG range yourself. Or you can force a turnover (like they almost did) and be right in FG range. Coaches should play to make the playoffs and win the super bowl. Sometimes that means going for a draw.
I could honestly see the Lions doing 0-15-1 The season would be much more entertaining that way. I’m down for it
