Not 3 to get 5. It was a 5 yard penalty with automatic first Down. And Brees talked him into the wrong decision.

Option was 2nd and 3
Or
1st and 10, 2 yards back.

No brainer. Take the 1st and 10

announcers were thinking 1st and 5

why would you not take a 7 yard gain on a first down play? 2nd and 3 > 1st and 10

How is it a no brainer?

2 yards further downfield, and we have 2 plays to get 3 yards which is better than 3 plays to get 10 yards.
