Field goal by Washington ends it.
If you don’t convert, you’re still down 7 and can tie with a TD. Or win it by going for 2 again.
I had the same thought. And now they're down by 9 and basically needing a miracle.
The downside is of course if you don't get it, then if you get the ball back and score a TD, an extra point only ties. But I would've tried it. That extra 1 point would've kept them alive right now. [Reply]

If you don’t get it, you’re essentially in the same position.
You need a stop and a TD.
If you get it, you just need to keep Washington out of the endzone.
