Got to wonder if it's reflective of Shanny's confidence in Jimmy G. They had to score a TD so I wonder if he left time on the clock in case there was a sack or they were left with punching it in from 1-2 yards out (the play to Juszczyk should really have been stopped before he got in, and would have left them on the 3 or 4). But yeah, letting the clock run down to c. 20 seconds and calling one of THREE remaining TO's makes more sense than rushing to go for the TD with nearly 45 seconds left.
But it's probably worse that they played such loose coverage on the last Packers drive. They were playing full on prevent even though the Packers only needed to get into FG range. Especially looking at the space Adams found, because you know he can break a big gain if he has room.
