Yes that may have been at least something......does not make it optimal?..........wind was listed at 13mph - which would be the critical determinant for FG attempt decision-making - 13mph, though is not a deal-breaker....they turned down a high % chance for 3 pts - at the 20 for about 38 yard FG try. Take the high percentage 3 pts.

I think it has more to do with confidence in the holder. It's wild that the new ball rules for kickers have added about 5-10 yards to their range but the spotters have become more important than ever. About half the time they miss its because of a bad snap or placement.

Last week Bears went for it on 4th and 3 on their own like 30-35 in the first half. He’s just going to go for it and live with the results

I think most head coaches go for it now from ~50 even though kickers reliably hit 55 yarders all the time now - at least early in the game when they don't desperately need to close or extend a lead. Logic is that 3 yards on the ground is easy and if they "surprise" the other team with a pass it's an easy TD.
 
Williams threw that game-tying TD from 26 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Maybe I SHOULDN'T have switched over to basketball.
