Wrong call, every team knows Gibbs is going to run the ball in that situation. He has had very little success running on third and short when we have the lead late in the game. If we looked up the stat for three and outs late in a game I think we would find they are very high. Back when we had the Hogs and the could run at will it was the right call. D lineman have become bigger and quicker making that play alot tougher. I'm not saying always pass in that situation but mix it up some so th D's are not sure what we are going to do.
