Great call, IMO. No matter what, Dallas needed two scoring drives to win or tie. Instead of gifting them the field position by basically allowing them to start at midfield if we missed, let them use most of their juice trying to get the first score. I liked the time management aspect of it and I liked the idea that the game is over if we stop them just once.
If they had scored even a field goal off our miss, we were probably looking at an onside kick which is an absolute wild card. No doubt the right call. The way our defense was playing there was a good chance it would end the way it did.
