You moved the ball to the 38 yard line with six seconds left.
you need 3 to tie and put the game into overtime.
that's a 55 yard field goal.
you are at home. wind isn't an issue. it's not raining.
your kicker missed a 50 yard attempt at the end of the first half. didn't see it.
Your quarterback is playing hurt.
He throws it incomplete to leave one second on the clock.
Do you really think your odds at a hail marry are better than trying another field goal to force overtime?
Lets say your regular kicker just can't kick it that far, you have two backup portal guys that I am sure at least one of them can. These guys stand around practice and kick field goals every single day. Unlike SC you actually have a special teams coach. at home. perfect conditions? what am I missing here?
