Why Patriots Should Have Went For Game-Winning Two-Point Conversion

Jerod Mayo and the New England Patriots had a chance to walk it off against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

But instead of attempting a game-winning two-point conversion the Patriots settled for overtime where they ultimately suffered a 20-17 loss in Nashville.

During the latest episode of NESN’s “Foxboro Rush,” George Balekji and Travis Thomas criticized Mayo’s decision to not keep quarterback Drake Maye and the offense on the field and go for the win.

“Go for two! Go for two!” Thomas exclaimed. “Listen, man, this season is going nowhere fast. We knew that before this damn game of two terrible teams. I mean, what different does it make? What are you going to overtime for? It was pulling teeth, pulling teeth to get that touchdown at the end of the game. Go for two. Send a message to your team!”

Both stressed New England’s two-win record would have made players and fans content with going for the win, especially given the heroics Maye showed on the final play of regulation.
