1. I'm not sure I like this call. I mean, you are losing at this point in the game. Bad snap, kicker flubs, a gust of wind, whatever. Your best player is one yard from walking in to the endzone and you are giving up a guaranteed lead.
I really can't believe that Del Rio has that little faith in his defense.
The way it played out, I don't see how you can run the clock down and leave it all up to one play. That compounds the problem by first giving up the automatic lead and then leaving the entire game up to one play when you have multiple chances to win.
2. Punt the ball and make Peyton Manning go 80 yards. Of course, earlier in the fourth Manning went 80 yards twice in the same amount of time.
But, come on...
I don't see how you can risk giving Manning the ball with 30 yards and 2 minutes.
