As much as I hate New England... he made the right decision, just not the standard one. It'd be like using your closer in the 8th inning against the best hitters. If it DOES fail, you'll be chastised for it.

I read the odds of the two different ways. Going for it produced an approximately 79% chance of winning. Punting would yield approximately a 70% chance of winning.

Statistically, he made the right call.
