Had the defense been able to get a stop, they would've been working with a much shorter field with time of the essence. Kicking a fg meant a much longer drive to get a td. Expecting a quick stop against Brady was also a bad assumption. Tampa was 10 of 15 in the game on 3rd and 4th down plays. In a big game you have to trust what works. Going with AR for one more down has a much higher chance of success that kicking off and hoping that your terrible special teams hold Tampa and then expecting your defense that played poorly on 3rd and long to make a stop. For a lot of reasons that decision deserves a lot of criticism.</p></blockquote><p></p>
