The situation is this: You're at the 1-yard line with 20 seconds and 2
downs remaining. You are four points behind. You need this touchdown, and the
worst possible thing to have happen is a passing play and an interception. The
biggest game of the season. You just don't risk it.
Okay, your leading runner is not good at touchdowns, but the defense knows
that he is the most likely to do it. So, the defense is going to pounce on him
immediately. So, you do something clever, such as fake a handoff to that
runner, have him go in one direction, then hand it off to a secondary runner
going in the other direction.
Okay, it's Monday morning quarterbacking. But people everywhere were
screaming not to pass the ball as it is most likely to result in failure.
Which it did.
