The Rams and Broncos had their seasons come to an end on Sunday with heartbreaking losses in their respective conference championship games. And once the final whistles were blown, both Sean Payton and Sean McVay were questioned about their decisions to not kick field goals on key fourth downs.
Payton and the Broncos opted to go for it on fourth down early in the second quarter against the Patriots instead of kicking a short field goal that would have given them a 10-0 lead over the Patriots. Denver was unable to pick up the first down and then went on to lose the game by three points.
