I wouldnt call it unnecessary because its probably your last real chance barring an onside kick conversion
you have to score there before the stop to have a chance of two possession comeback
Nope
They still had 2 timeouts.
Could have waited for the 2 minute warning (also a timeout), then ran 1 or 2 pass plays to the endzone....without running much clock....clock stops after incompletions, obviously.
At the very least, they get a FG with at least 1:40 and 2 timeouts under their belt.....with a chance to get the ball back.
Instead, they panic and rush a play that could have been better prepared had they waited till after the 2 minute warning.
These scenarios should be ingrained in a head coach's head.
I'm glad you are not coaching
