Given that he expressly told Jet NOT to score, he clearly had in mind that a 1st down was more valuable to them at that stage of the game than a touchdown. This is essentially the same as the other poll - would you have rather seen them score a TD than hold for the FG? Because that's exactly what it would've been. |

With a guaranteed first down? Absolutely.
It's rather simple. What's more likely to happen? A missed FG from 25 yards? Or your defense stopping the Eagles from marching down the field with 1:54 and scoring at TD? We both know the answer. |

I’d take the points but a 7 point lead is risky. The Eagles could easily drive down the field and get 8, and in certain they were confident they could do so

Anyone saying anything other than you take the penalty is an absolute moron and doesn't understand football or statistics. As Jason Kelce said after the penalty, games over! If the roles were reversed what would you have wanted the Eagles to do???

The choice is between giving the Eagles about 1 min 45 seconds to score 7 points or about 8 seconds to score 3 points.
You gotta go with the 8 second game. |

Take the penalty and secure the win. Same as the slide. Not really that difficult

Has any HC ever taken a TD off the board in the SB? Hell, in any game?

I would take the penalty instead of the TD. Running out the clock was extremely important. The Eagles tried to let the Chiefs score a TD and McKinnon chose to slide at the 1 yard line.

Plenty of teams have been able to score a TD and chosen not to in order to run out the clock. |
