If someone was watching the Bill game, please tell me why they went for two points with a 20-16 lead when they could have made it 21-16.

Because they have their sacred little charts that tell them what the percentages are based on the lead. 21-16 would give them a 5 point lead. They would get beat by a touchdown and 2 field goals. Going for 2 would make it 22-16. They would still get beat by a touchdown, but would tie with 2 field goals, not lose. Nothing to gain by 5 point lead - so go for 2.

Doesn't makes much sense to me, either. By going for the PAT, they'd be up by 5. Even if they gave up a TD, they'd be down 2, which means a FG wins the game. Atl may opt to go for a 2pt conversion, but I would rather force Atl to make plays. The PAT might have been the difference in that game for Buf.
