Exactly lol. "Keeping the game close" is so dumb.
The goal is to win. Going for 2 there increaseys your odds of doing that, even if only slightly.
No, it absolutely does not increase your odds going for two there. It only increases your odds if you make it.
I would bet almost anything that there is not one coach in the league that would have gone for two points there. If you miss the game is over, period. It was pretty much no chance that you can win. It is a two-possession game at that point.
If you go for one there, then it's still a one-possession game. If you end up scoring a touchdown again, you can still tie it with a two-point conversion.
no coach was going for two points in that situation. Any coach that did would be fired.
