Tasty?

Black is ahead a piece (for a pawn) in this Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game. 
Should he gobble up that tasty White Rook at d1?























(Not a good idea. The game continued 24...Bxd1 25.Rh8+! Kxh8 26.Qh2+ Qh4 27.Qxh4+ Bh5 28.Qxh5+ Kg8 29.Qh7 checkmate)
