But Maurice Jones Drew went down at the 1 instead of scoring.
Jets up by 1, with 1.40 left in the game, Jaguars have the ball at the 10.
Jets let MJD go (obviously) and he kneeled at the 1 yard line so that they could run the clock and kick the FG.
Great coaching on both sides.
I dont think you would ever see that 10 years ago.
You have 2 options if you are the Jaguars:
1. Kick the FG (basically and EP) - the extra point is probably a 98% probability.
2. Score the TD, go up by either 5 or 7 (2 pt conv), and give the jets the ball with 1.40 needing a TD. I would say the chances of the Jets scoring a TD in that situation with 1.40 left is probably about 15%.
2% chance of losing vs 15% chance of losing.
Great coaching.
They were winning at the time though....
This is the first time that I have ever seen a team that was LOSING not score, and one of the few times I have seen a team that was winning try to let them score.
Of course - the first time in history these happened on the same play.

your figuring it wrong with option #2. If theres a 15 % chance of the Jets getting the tying TD that doesnt mean the Jags necessarily lose. You shouldve estimated the % chance that the Jets get that tying TD AND then the jets also win the game in OT, in order to figure out the Jags chance of losing if MJD gets that TD.
