There is nothing else to it.

35 yards of field position is worth nothing.

The lions punting and DAL starting their drive on the 15 adds 0.01 to the Lions win probability

The Lions making a first down adds 0.09.

Obviously there is risk, but there is risk in punting too, as we all saw.

Bad call.
