Sad part is I don't know if there's an NFL coach that would do this.
11 makes somewhat of a difference vs 10 in this scenario. Needing long FG+onside+2pc+TD just to tie. With Tucker I get this being an idea but with average kickah though? Blargh.
That said, a coach does need to tell his QB to NOT throw short passes that milk clock down 2 scores here.
Gl explaining THAT one to a coach though in a league where it's hard enough to figure out basic stuff, though a few of them are going for it on fourth and goals from the 3 now.
