You kick the FG and it's an 8 point lead. Mathematically, that's the right decision.
The TE screen or whatever I don't necessarily like, but I'm old school about that scenario; I'd have run it.
But throwing it there is a typical West Coast offense thing to do, and not only has Andy done it more than a few times, Gruden has done it successfully at least twice that I can remember this year. As have the Saints. As have a few other teams.
Holmgren did plenty of times. The Packers with Favre and Aaron . . . and so on. Pretty sure Bill and Brady have done it dozens of times over the years.
