Run it on 3rd, and then pass or run on 4th if you didn't get it. Worst case -- make them march 80 yards with no time outs to win.

And my frustration goes back to the play calling after Hill's catch with 4:11 left. Andy went into a shell with 1) an ineffective run, 2) a short pass to Hill that would have gained <5 even if he had caught it and 3) a low percentage route on 3rd down. Scoring a TD in that situation would have iced the game, but poor play calls lead to a FG.
