Yes but, getting a game winning TD on the final drive is a low-percentage proposition considering you can only play 3-down football (saving 4th down for a FG kick) and are limited in how aggressive you can be once you get into FG range.
Perhaps there's a good case to be made for going for a 1 pt convert, but I still think going for 2 is the right call when you have the ball at the 1 yd line.
