A 52 yard FG on 4th and 4 to go up 7 is a loser’s proposition. Regardless of the outcome, it’s a one-score game. Not a big difference between where Carolina will start its next possession. Sirianni would have gone for that in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
The decision to take a delay of game on 4th and 8 only to punt from the 41 was nearly a disaster. Nick should have learned from the Atlanta game how hard it is to stop a team trailing by 6, using all 4 downs. If you don’t trust Elliott just go for it and try to end the game. Two cowardly decisions.
