Anyone else besides me trying to figure out how the onside kick makes sense at the end?
1st down beats you in both. You get ball with about 10s left in both.
Deep KO you get punt near midfield with a catchable Hail Mary to win. (9% odds on HM according to stats the past few years).
Onside kick is about 5% chance.
Getting ball at -25ish after the kick you have to not only catch the hail Mary, but then advance it into endzone, so way less than the 9% chance)
Only thing I can see is if coach decides 0% chance to stop them on 3 runs straight...

If you end up recovering the onside kick, you have the ball around your 40-45 with two timeouts and over a minute remaining. Its low odds to recover the onside, but you’re giving yourself two opportunities to get the ball back vs one if you kick it away.
How about Philadelphia’s choice to kick the extra point to go up 13 with 4:30 left? I though that was a poor decision.
