Except that in this case it was the end of the game, it was situational football, and they should've kicked the FG, if only to create the potential decision tree for BUF to take a FG if BAL managed to get a stop outside their own EZ.
in fact, if they'd kicked it, based on the outcome, they would've tied when BUF kicked that FG to win the game.
Again, theory is nice, but reality often runs counter to hypotheticals.
