I’ve seen a lot of people calling the Broncos extremely lucky to get an extra attempt at the game ending field goal. While I agree we are lucky, I believe many are undervaluing the decision to rush the field goal team out there. Catching the defense unprepared was great strategic decision. The miss was unfortunate, but our strategy pulled through. It is refreshing to see this level of coaching late in the game.
It could be a legit strategy going forward under the two minutes. If it works and you get a penalty that might result in a first down so you have a chance at 7 instead of 3. If there’s no penalty then you still get three points
