If it's intercepted and you lose, it's the most second-guessed call of the season.  I understand the mentality of wanting to play to win, but that's neither the time nor place.  There's nothing wrong with Mike calling run-run-run in that situation.  You're playing the clock game at that point.  You run another 40 seconds off, punt it away, and count on your defense being able to simply prevent the opposition from going 60 yards in 45 seconds with no timeouts.  I'll take those odds.It was absolutely the right call to run.  In fact, good chance we might not be talking about a win today if they don't.  No reason for Ryan to try to force it in to coverage on that 3rd and 10 if there were 40 more seconds on the clock.</blockquote>
