True, but it's not as though the Rams have had trouble getting first downs
Really, does it matter? The difference between 2 and 3 minutes is not that significant. The crucial part was scoring before the two minute warning. They did. Beyond that the only question left is whether the the Rams will get a first down.
Doesn’t an onside kick still make sense? A first down by LAR ends the game anyways, so you’re probably talking about 20-30 yards in field position absent a pinned punt or big return.
It might not all things considered given how unlikely recovering it is. The field position equity gained by kicking it deep is the plausible value.

7 Quart Dutch Oven. It's probably 80-90% capacity. Greater Boston area.
Was that on the play where Welker wiped him out?
He also got hurt in the 2012 AFCCG vs the Ravens too if I remember correctly.
So he got hurt and was taken out of back to back AFCCG's, so he's got that going for him.
It’s weird how teams change approach when they have this situation though and run three times against a stacked box. I think with three time outs and the two minute warning you kick it deep here and dare them to pass.
If you don't get the 2 pt conversion, the game is over. At least by kicking the XP, you get it to 1 possession and give yourself a chance at tying the game up.
It was 2:08 which I think is ok but that is cutting it close. If 2:05 or maybe even 2:06 you let it run down.
Very smart to not call the timeout with 2:04 left. Can’t believe how often coaches screw that up
I kinda hope those 4 seconds the Cowboys let run off end up hurting them somehow.
(I realize it's not the smart thing to do)

Well yeah, but the odds of missing the XP are lower than missing the 2 pt play.
Yep. I'm drunk, and being stupid. Ignore me.
2-2.5 extra minutes and I'd still say go for it early.
Makes it more likely they run on second down. If they pass and it’s incomplete with less than 8 seconds you saved yourself a time out.
2:06 or less let it go to 2:00. More than 2:07 I would call the time out if it’s 2d down.
