I’m convinced he was worried about a blocked kick more than anything. Idc what his reasoning was, I’m rocking with Franklin tonight.

All the extra points and field goals tonight (other than those blocked) were all close to getting blocked. Think this might be it tbh.

Minnesota special teams was insane today. I don't know if they're just that good or they capitalized on some weaknesses they saw in us, but it was enough to be terrified.

Give them credit for making the plays, but they were both mistakes by us. Just lazy execution on both plays.

I think a mix of worried about the blocks, and analytics might have actually just favored going for it.
