No, it was the correct decision and it’s not close. First down and the game is over. Chance of getting first down there is about 80%. Win percentage being up 4 points after a kick off, with that much time left, is not much better than only being up 1 with the ball on the Broncs’ own 10 yard line. The math is pretty simple and compelling in favor of going for it.
Except it’s not smart. It’s dumb.
