You don't want a Lafluer moment when they kicked a FG in 2021 on 4th down and questioned it afterwards.
Not many teams have a Mahomes that this happens every year, and even with that the Chiefs have had to reinvent themselves this year to get back.
He even mentioned the division will get better, you never know with injuries, drop in play etc if this chance comes again.

He was right to go for it in the 3rd quarter.
You'll never convince me that not tying up the game with 7:32 left when you opponent had scored on 4 straight drives is the right decision.
You need to tie the game, and keep it a one possession game. Had they done that the game likely goes to OT and you have a chance still. Instead it's a two possession game and you have under 4:00 minutes left to try to get two scores.
You took the game out of your own hands by going for it on 4th down there IMO.
