It’s a big game for Andy Reid. If Chiefs beat #Raiders in Week 18, Reid will take sole possession of first place for most wins by a coach at Allegiant Stadium (playoffs included).

Reid is currently tied with Antonio Pierce and Josh McDaniels with 6

Had this exact same thought. No idea why GB would not go for two. But their defense makes it a moot point.

The next step in game management

Team trailing by 13 scores a TD. Go for 2 to try to cut the lead to 5

If you give up a FG you are down 8 and still within 1 possession

Being down 6, you give up a TD or a FG you are down 2 scores.

Who will be first team to make the move?
