But assuming you're a lock to get those two point conversions is naïve to say the least. At least by missing early the Bills knew exactly what they had to do. If you even get it to 38-36 and you miss the two to tie with likely no time left then you're screwed. Improbable as down 17 with four minutes left is, it's still more likely than once you miss the tying two point try with no time left.

The problem I had with going for 2 there is if you make it you need two touchdowns. If you miss it, you need 2 touchdowns and a field goal. If you just kick the single you are 2 touchdowns down.
Yah you still need to get 2 two point conversions, but I think I would rather have had that chance after the onside kick.
It was over when they missed the 2 pointer.
