^ I didn't see the play in question. It all depends on how much time is left. If they need 10 points a lot of coaches will go for the three points in that situation if there is time to get the ball back. If they are stopped on fourth down the game is over. If they kick the FG they still have a chance.
If they were down 8 points or less? That is a very peculiar call.
