Reasonable gamble?

Or stupidest decision of the game?

3. But 4th and 13?
That's a very low-percentage conversion to begin with, and then they go with an even lower-percentage play for the TD. End result gives the Giants the ball just 7 yards "deeper" than they would have been following a missed FG.

If you can't depend on your kicker making a 49-yarder INDOORS, you need a new kicker.

2. Hindsight 20/20
I mean considering they lost by three points you can look back at it now and go yeah stupid move. .

I'm not sure. Showed a lack of confidence in their kicker I.M.O though.

That'll be questioned over and over and over again I'm sure.
