Not taking a FG on the second to last possession was the right call. Not only did it give you a chance to get the lead, when they missed it left the Saints in great field position at the Falcon 42 after a 3 and out. Had they kicked the FG Falcons would have had the ball starting on their 30 with a 3 point rather than their 7 with a 6 point lead. Let’s assume a 3 and out, Falcons probably punt inside the Saints 20, making the last drive WAY more difficult and at best probably getting a tying FG. The run to Penning’s side on 3rd and goal was the questionable decision on that 2nd to last possession. They knew they were going for it on 4th so I understand trying to get closer for the 4th down play.
