I know there are other post game threads but I feel as though this deserves its own. If the mods disagree they can merge. I'm going off memory here, but there was 630 to go left it the game, rivers just had a 7 yard scramble to make it fourth and 4 and San Diego is down 9 points. What do they decide to do? Punt the ball and play for field position. I understand their offense wasn't exactly on fire and might not have picked it up, but they are essentially giving up by punting the ball back there. How can any NFL coach play for field position in that situation?
