Unpacking some arguments about the Jaguars 2-point conversion decision
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports In yesterday’s 13-12 defeat to the Texans in Houston, the Jacksonville Jaguars came within inches of taking their first lead of the year. Rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew led the team to a two-minute drill touchdown, something Jaguars fans have not seen in years. With :36 left in the game, Coach Doug Marrone opted to attempt a 2-point conversion rather than kicking the extra point. Unfortunately an inside handoff to Leonard Fournette found the team inches from being up 14-13.
Should the Jaguars have simply kicked and gone into overtime? Should the ball have remained in Minshew’s hands?
