Even if you make the field goal, the lead is only 13. That’s still a 2 possession game.
The Chargers had been moving the ball pretty well that drive, so I think they should’ve gone for the kill. That game is over if the Chargers score a TD.
Kinda like when a team scores a TD to go up 7 late. It’s better to go for 2, so you can lead by 9 than kick the extra point to lead by 8.

100%. I said that to the group I was with watching the game. A lot of these "I'm crazy and go for it all the time" coaches actually tend to puss when they need to go for it the most. Staley was a perfect example there. When you have a chance for a kill shot, you take it.
