I know. Why do you like those types of wide receivers to compliment your star players? On one side you have the Hines Ward, Antonio Brown, JuJu, Burress and Washington, and on the other side you have Coates, Bryant and Heyward Bey.

Going for it in that situation is 100% the correct decision. Those who disagree lack the cognitive ability to properly assess the situation.

1. It's an easily-manageable fourth-and-four.

2. You're on the brink of driving into the opponent's territory with the greatest kicker in NFL history, needing only a field goal to win.

3. Punting all but guarantees a best-case scenario of a tie, and still leaves open the very real possibility of losing (Houston only needs a field goal to win, remember).

4. Even if you fail to convert on fourth down, they still need 20+ yards for a chance at a high-probability field goal attempt.

If it were fourth-and-long, then sure, punt it. But it wasn't. It was a moderate risk/high reward scenario. Quite frankly, after watching far too many overly-conservative coaches, I'm glad to see one show some balls.
