Re: Down by 2 touchdowns, go for 2 theory.
Coaches risk looking foolish not only for the decision to go for it, but also because of the bad play call.
Also, I wonder what the stats say about the percentage of games a team wins/loses/ties in overtime after tying from down 14+ points. The smaple size would probably be too small, but believers in momentum would probably like their chances to win in OT.
(I can only remember one game that a team came back 14+ in the 4th to force overtime and it ended up tied).
