If we throw it... well, that's not really an option apparently.
I will agree that you take that chance with good QB though.

It's not popular with fans, but it might be considered the right call for a team that had something to lose.
This team had nothing to lose. They haven't led a game for a single second. They just had played a half of football that it was highly unlikely they would sustain or improve upon in the second half. If there was ever a right time and a right team to take a risk, it was there.
