The safe play, and one almost everyone makes there is to get a few extra yards for your FG kicker who can make that kick. You could make a very iffy FG a very makable one with just 6 to 7 yards. If that Hail Mary falls incomplete, he's kicking a 57 yard FG which is even a reach for him. Made no sense, especially if you are not trying to run up the score.

There was only 5 seconds left on the clock, they had to just throw it deep. No time to really run a play and call a quick TO, big risk with only 5 seconds left. I mean maybe you get a yard or two on a QB sneak, but they still would unlikely try a 55 or 56 yarder over just chucking it deep. Tracy is an excellent kicker but I feel like they think his range is around 55 yards in game.
