Also, Im not advocating for joe gibbs conservative, but you go up 2 scores...you start grinding and controlling that line of scrimmage and keep that defense on the sideline. Because when you start aggressively throwing...man, the turnover probability goes way up and you stop the clock. Folks I like Cousins...he is not Aaron Rogers, tom Brady, etc.
The Vikings did the predictable...they went hurry up and more aggressive playcalling. So the defense feels more pressure, get worn out, and gives up scores.
That second quarter was a momentum killer and effective allowed the Vikings to win the first half of that game.
Fat Rob showed his worth in the second half...and first quarter. Don't get away from running the ball, we are a much much better team and offense.

I don't know man. If they go run, run, pass and it's still a three and out, there would be just as many Monday morning QBs saying they went too conservative. My guess is they thought the Vikings would be expecting the run so they didn't...maybe they were overthinking it...who knows. All I'm saying is I appreciate aggressive, and I think we need more of that...at least show the willingness to be aggressive like that so teams can't sit on one thing.
