I wouldn't call 3.8 YPC "shut down." Plus, it's not all about YPC. It's about running out clock, keeping your defense off the field, grinding out tough yards, and wearing the other defense out. Throwing three straight short passes/incompletions when you're up by two or three scores does nothing but open up the floodgates for a comeback.
