   I'm actually wondering if Kyle Shanahan would have been better going for the   
   TD than the FG on 4th down.  They were at the Kansas City 9.  Obviously, not   
   getting the TD allows the Chiefs to win on a FG, but part of the reason you go   
   for it deep in the    
   opponents' territory is that upon failure, they have to start deep in their   
   own territory.  Frequently, this actually leads to a punt and great field   
   position on your next possession.   
      
   It was 4th & 4.  Yeah - I'm thinking that this was actually the bigger   
   strategic mistake than receiving the ball first, which seems like the right   
   call to me.  However, had that backfired and KC wins on a FG, Shanahan would   
   have been even more slammed in    
   the media than he has already for what I think are completely bizarre things   
   (like the suggestions that he should have rammed C(3.5ypc)Mc into the line   
   more or given the ball to KC in OT).
