Outrageous.
Do you think the Cowboys, Colts or Patriots would be comfortable with a 14 point lead with that much time still available? HELL NO. They'd be striking down the field trying to get another score.
That's exactly the kind of complacency that separates the winners from the losers.

I agree that it would have been nice for us continue our attack, but it's a stretch to say it was outrageous. There are a lot of fine coaches who would have done the same thing.
And, even if one were to say they were being conservative, you also have to say they weren't being so conservative in going for it on 4th down from the 37 yard line.
