Am I missing something? Are they all really this clueless as to how to play football?

If he's got a chance to get all the way (Looked like it was possible), he should have kept going, making it a 4 point game, instead of a two point game.

After the ball is intercepted, it's coming down to an onside kick, no matter what. However, with the small of of time remaining, getting 20 yards after the onside kick prior to a FG is a whole lot more likely than getting 60 yards for a TD in 10 seconds.

The clock doesn't run on the 2 point attempt, so the clock wasn't going to run out anyway.

If it was last years NFL rules, then yes, he should have gone down immediately.
