Why do NFL teams in tight games still try to ice the kicker. I’m specifically looking at you McDermott. It feels like it rarely works,and seems like more of a tradition at this point,than a legitimate strategy. I feel like an analytics person needs to take a look at this,it seems wildly ineffective,and inefficient.

Like if you have a high powered offense,why wouldn’t you want the ball back with 20ish seconds on the clock,and 2 timeouts. Philly’s defense was looking gassed too.
