I'd make a smartass coment like "thanks captain hidesight" but what Payton did was right on. Take the points and force a touch down. You miss on fourth and it's +- 65 yards for OT

Why take that chance when you can force a team to go 80 yards? It's dumb. It's not like we got destroyed all day on the defense. Bend, not break for a TD is way smarter than allowing a team to go 45 yards in 2 minutes for a dome field goal opportunity.

Was the right call. When they come up to the line they were looking for a specific defensive lineup and didn't see it. Hence, the timeout and the field goal. Good call.
