Dumb question, but in what situation would you try for 2 for the win (instead of PAT to tie)?

Maybe with a Zombie apocalypse pending....thousands of infected swarms storming the field. Maybe.

I would do it on the road so dont have to deal with Crowd noise in OT

I dunno about Vrabel's decision making. He took a timeout to avoid a ten second runoff. If he keeps the timeout the clock is at 22 seconds from the one foot line. That is enough time for two run plays with two timeouts. Seattle has two timeouts and 29 seconds.

The next decision I didn't agree with is not going for the win. He has an iffy kicker. Missed a FG earlier. Barely got the PAT just inside the right goal post by maybe a foot if that. Trying to win in OT with that kicker is risky. Henry has worn down that defense. I think a two point conversion had a decent chance. If they look like they're stacking it to stop Henry a bootleg mighta been a good option.

When your kicker sucks or when you dont trust your D to get a stop in OT but you have Derrick Henry runnin wild.

Tennessee won the toss. They get the ball to start OT. Can they ride Henry to a win? After a slow start he's got 161 yards. Seems like he mighta worn the seahags defense down. At least I hope so.

And OL is still... meh.
I feel like Murray renders their OL ineffective. He's better outside the pocket. Signing Rodney Hudson looks great on paper but that's a ton of $$$ just to see your QB quick & eager(?) to escape the pocket so often.

Idk. Still early but that D got worked today.

Wow, Seattle defense was gonna get off the field but flagged for roughing the QB. Looked like it was on Jamal Adams.
