I think they were better off going for it. Just throw the thing up for grabs at like the 10 yard line and hope they're dumb enough to catch it (assuming our receiver doesn't).
A first down wins the game outright. We can drain basically all the time. A field goal or pooch punt gives them the ball back down two scores with 2:40 left regardless of the outcome. A missed field goal is worse field position than an incomplete pass. If a field goal put us up by 3 scores I'd be more for it.
I do think pooch punt was better than field goal. But I still like going for it slightly better.
