The two runs prior to that netted 0 yards. A one yard run from the 9 to the 8 and a one yard loss from the 3 back to the 4.
Again, if nothing else, this play was designed to loosen up and spread out the defense, so we could run, using the same formation and personnel, up the middle.
Seriously.
They literally stacked the box and killed our run, yet people are saying "why didn't we run there!".
Sark made a good call. Najee would have been open. Mac just made a horrible pass. You lob the ball to the corner and give Najee the chance to run under it.
You don't fricking throw flat route short or behind the shoulder. Those lead to picks.

I thought our OLine had their best game of the year & Najee at that point was abusing their worn down defense.
You run him off tackle from the 2, I like our chances. Don't forget his ability to leap over defenders if need be.
If it doesn't work on 1st down then take a chance with the pass play.
This is the same scenario, different type play, that lost Seattle a Superbowl against New England few years ago.
Ignored Beastmode, pass got picked, ball game.
That play call caused dissention between coaches & players in their organization.
