Re: Why going for it was right
And you know this how? Manning had thrown up two ducks that got picked off in the game. You punt the ball and make him earn it... you don't gift wrap it for him to take.
If he punted it, Manning would have gone deep and drawn ANOTHER pass interference call at about the same spot they were already at. They had the ball with 2 min. left, why give it back when you have a chance to just close the game out? It was the right move, it just was the wrong play.
