Kick a field goal with 29 seconds left
And a down by 10.

We needed the points and then hope to get the onside kick, It almost worked,

It makes more sense to go for it since we would have to march further for a TD after the recovered onside kick. You go for the TD and then you can probably get on FG range easily after recovering the onside.

Re: Kick a field goal with 29 seconds left
I won’t defend Luke on much but kicking the FG was the right call. With time running out you need the FG, onside kick, and a miracle TD. If you go for it, you waste too much time to realistically get the onside kick, get into FG range, and kick a FG. You end up still needing a miracle TD bc you don’t have any time to get in FG range.
