That's a strawman argument. What was the reward for going for it two minutes into the game in your own territory? You're still on your own side of the field 55 yards away from the end zone and according to you, double digit underdogs need to be more aggressive and can't settle for field goals. If they're on the Rams 40 or closer, I could understand. from your own 45 is just reckless when there's 58 minutes left in the game.
