BTW, Slye's miss was pretty bad. Could have lost us the game. Had he made it, we would have been up 15-7 and put even more pressure on the Bears.
I was watching with Nextgen stats last night. They gave Slye a 53% chance of making it, basically a coin toss, and the recommendation was to go for it on 4th and 4. Making a 4th and 4 is challenging but with time that was left even if you turn it over you run more time off the clock and it is better defensive field position. I don't knock the FG attempt though going up 8 would have been big.

I agree with, I think it was Al Michaels, on the broadcast that punting made sense. With Way there's every chance they would have been looking at a 90+yd drive. OK the FG would have meant OT at worst, but instead we have them good field position and barely escaped by inches. RR doesn't seem keen on taking risks until the game is on the line, which to me is backwards. Take risks to get into a winning position, but go with the odds when you protecting a lead.
