The New Orleans Saints raised some eyebrows on Sunday went they went for two after scoring a touchdown on the second possession of overtime with just 1:34 remaining on the clock.
Tyler Shough's pass into the corner for Bryce Lance was incomplete, giving the Detroit Lions a dramatic 31-30 win. But even the Lions thought it was the right call.
"I think you've got to go for it," quarterback Jared Goff told The Athletic's Mike Silver . "We would have done the same thing."
