If we do put them inside their 35 with a normal kick-off and stop their O, we get the ball back with enough time on the clock to go 50-70 yards rather than a likely 80-90.

But our D was wasn't going to stop them either way.

That was my thinking. Easy for me to say but I would've hoped he would gamble for the win with special teams knowing how poorly the defense was playing Sunday would make it a moot point if Baltimore recovered the ball.
