I have found myself wondering this, from watching football, this weekend.
Team A, up 23-20 drives the field, and gets a TD, to go up 29-20 on team B, with 4-5 minutes left.
Team A then proceeds to kick PAT.
I know there is an infintesimal chance of the PAT being blocked/botched, and team B taking it back for 2 points.
But in kneeling, your still up 2 scores.
Why even attempt the PAT, in this scenario?
Just something I’ve always wondered.
