.....when you have 3 timeouts in your back pocket. (It's another thing if you have anything less.)
It's not even a hindsight statement. Why wouldn't you want two shots of scoring a TD over worrying about what the other team could "possibly" do after you "hopefully" score??
The Cowboys could have had the ball back with at least over a minute left in the game if they just kept moving the ball in the hurry up.
