00:00In that moment, I cannot be clearer on this decision.
00:04I don't care 1,000 out of 1,000 times.
00:09You have a 10-point game.
00:11There's seven minutes left.
00:13Fourth and two from the two.
00:16You always, always, always go for it
00:19because you can end the game right there.
00:22You score a touchdown, it becomes a three-score game.
00:25It becomes a 17-point game.
00:27Now it's three scores.
00:28You kick a field goal, it's still only a two-score game.
00:32And I already hear people out there, well, they were banged up.
00:34They had a lot of injuries.
00:35Even more of a reason why you try to hammer the nail in the coffin
00:39when you have a banged-up team because if you score there, it's over.
00:43You're not trying to hang on for dear life.
00:45And then I have people who are saying,
00:46oh, well, you need to score two touchdowns if you're the Rams
00:49if you kick a field goal.
00:50That actually makes it easier on the offense.
00:53With seven and a half minutes left.
00:54It actually makes it easier on the offense
00:56because when you're coming down the field,
00:58if you had already scored a touchdown,
01:00you knowing that you need a touchdown gives you four downs.
01:04If they had to just kick a field goal like they did in this situation to tie it,
01:08they can't be aggressive.
01:09They can't take four downs.
01:11Everything points to you go for that situation.
01:14I'd rather see the two touchdowns.
01:15That's all I'm saying.
01:15I don't care what you say.
01:17This team could not make a third down all stinking game.
01:20But you want to go for it on fourth and two.
01:22Guys, how'd that work out for you?
01:23It was their best drive.
01:25How'd it work out?
01:25They had just gone 11 plays.
01:26How'd it work out, Will?
01:27It didn't matter because the defense fell apart.
01:29Yeah, okay.
01:30There is no scenario where you don't go for it here.
01:32The defense fell apart.
01:33The defense was the only reason they were in the game in the first place.
01:36I understand that.
01:37But you're telling me you could give the Rams the ball at the two-yard line
01:43with the way the defense was playing, you expected them to go on a 98-yard drive?
01:48Everything about that decision makes sense.
01:50Either you score and you end the game, or you turn it over to them at the two,
01:55and now they've got to go 98 yards.
01:57And what you're hoping happens is if you don't get it, your defense stops them,
02:00and now you get the ball back with really good field position to try to score again.
02:05This is my gut.
02:07I'm in the press box sitting next to DiCecco.
02:10On third down, I said to DiCecco, four-down territory.
02:14Andrew DiCecco goes, absolutely, it's four-down territory.
