If they didn't score, Minnesota's mediocre offense is stuck at their 2 yard line.

If they score, the game is over.

Not exactly optimal.
Yep, especially when the opposing team will have four downs on every set (and obviously go for it) just get into FG range.

I thought the same thing…punch it in and if you fail, bet they can't move the ball.

Still, with a kicker like Blair Walsh, I wouldn't risk a field goal winning it.

If you're Green Bay, just run out the clock.
