Its like half a day and they would have to travel here. Its not that big of a deal IMO. By the time their game is over and they take showers and maybe get some treatment, they wont get home till wee hours of morning.
Yeah he should have snuck it but even that does get stopped from time to time. Its also not just this one specific 4th down. That probably could have been like 4th and 2 or something and he still would have went for it. I dont care what analytics say. Sometimes the analytics are right and the call is right but the outcome costs you a game. Sometimes its better to just take the points.
