Converting 4th and 6 has to be higher percentage than a 53 yard FG there, and you have to try to score since they're under 3 minutes left at that point.

 

I'm not sure what you mean there.

 

I meant punting wasn't an option because of the time left, so with going for it being a higher percentage play than kicking, it was the choice.

As bad as it felt to see the Bears lose that NFCCG last season, at least it didn't end like that. Wow. That was a brutal ending for the Ravens.

I can only assume that kicker went to Boise St.

 

Drake, apparently.

 

His wikipedia page is already updated with this kick. Are there really a legion of ninja-editing wikipedia sports fans?

Oh. You don't have to try to score there IMO. There was 2:53 and 3 time outs and NE's running game wasn't great (as it was they threw twice). And I think that if they truly believed that they weren't going to get the ball back, they would have attempted the FG there. Because even if they get the 1st, they still haven't scored, they still have 25 yards to go and could still throw an INT or fumble or get sacked out of FG range.

 

I suppose you could be right but to me at first glance it seems like they should have kicked the FG. I'd rather have the points on the board and secure that tie, because if you don't get it anything can happen. Pats can run out the clock, they could score a TD and make it a 10 point game, etc. All you get for getting 6 yards is a new set of downs.

 

Of course by listening to the post game, it seems like 53 yards was absolutely not in Cundiff's range, so maybe its a moot point. He did hit a 51 yarder earlier this year though.

yes.

And you can guarantee an edit-war for the next few days as various people insult him on it and others revert the page.
