Cowboys mishandled their final offensive possession, field goal attempt should have come first

There are different ways to handle things in football. Everybody knows that.

Some teams like to go for two when they score a touchdown already up by one late in the game on an opponent. Making the game a two possession matter is worth that risk to some, it isn’t to others. Personal preference is always a real thing, but so are points of logic and reason.

The Cowboys found themselves in a position like this late in the game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Down by 10 points (34-24) they got the ball back on their own 17-yard line.
