When The Jets went up 20 -19 they should have went for 2!! They had nothing to lose going for 2. If they fail the conversion or make the kick a field goal still beats them. If they make the 2 a field goal can only tie them. Dumb!!!!! That is why you don't hire an experienced guy who never head coached or even coordinated before. Just to look good in hiring a minority!!!!!

Your right you think these coaches would know the score? Remember the Dave Campo debacle on Thanksgiving.

About 6 years in the CFL my hometown Ottawa Roughriders were down by 5, with 1 minute left and they scored a touchdown to go up 36-35. Go for 2 to make it 38-35 right, to protect against a last second field goal. They went for 1, and the other team kicked the game winning field goal. When Coach was asked why he didn't go for 2 he replied I wanted to go for 2, but everybody on the bench was yelling kick the single? How could've he not known the score. Then he said he couldn't see the score, because the scoreboard was old, and it was hard to tell the difference between a 3 and a 9.

when the team was up by 36-35 and went for 1
to make it 37-35, what would have happened if they missed the two and the team who kicked the winning field goal missed.

You get a single point for missing in CFL, so 37-36 final would have been a little better than a 36-36 tie.

Maybe not such a dumb move!
