Yes, because the clock doesn’t run on an extra point. So no matter what happens the Chiefs would be kicking off to said team.
If Reid takes a knee to take away the chance of a block and return for 2 points that’s still a tie game.
If we hit the extra point going up by 3 the worst that can happen on a return/flag/field goal is now a tie instead of the other team winning by 1 because you took a knee on that extra point.
What’s higher odds?
1). Blocked extra point and returned by the defense for two points.
OR
2). Kickoff return that has a flag attached to the end of the return to give the other team a long field goal chance?
