Go Buckeyes
I saw an article complaining about Shanahan taking the ball first. When I watched the game, at first I thought that was a mistake. As the game continued, I thought it was the right decision. Then Kansas City scored the winning TD to make it look like a bad decision.
Here's my thought process:
1. Both teams get a possession.
2. The team getting the possession second has a significant advantage in that they know what they need to do to win or tie the game.
3. The team getting the ball first has a significant advantage if the teams remain tied after one possession.
Which advantage is more important? Knowing the outcome of the first drive or having a chance to win the game on your second possession without the other team getting the ball?
