moving up/around in the pocket before he delivered the pass he made.

They also could have tried a middle & time-out but that would have been more risky timewise if the refs don't give them the call right away.

Either way, they got a gift & the only way to actually have a non 'miracle' shot at it was to use that first play to get into reasonable FG range.

Trying to do so statistically would probably be worth the risk.

Of course, if Carroll hadn't fucked up in the first half it's a non-issue & we know it always comes down to those kind of errors in the final score.
