Clock management at the end

With 1st and goal with 2:00 remaining, why not take a knee on 1st down and burn some time?

That would be utterly dumb to do. There is no guarantee you score a touchdown from 2-3 yards away with the game on the line and only three downs to do it.

One run stuff up the middle and one incomplete pass on a fade route, and suddenly you're staring at 4th and goal, with the game on the line.

You take the points any time you can get them in that scenario.
