Joe Brady wishes he'd taken two knees before Monday night's game-winning field goal

Week 5 included plenty of examples of how not to best manage the clock in late-game situations.

In a Tuesday press conference, Bills coach Joe Brady expressed regret over his decision to attempt a game-winning 45-yard field goal during overtime. Brady explained that he was hesitant to run two QB sneaks due to the potential risks involved. He questioned whether he should simply center the ball and take two knees, rather than putting the ball in danger by taking multiple shots.

Brady acknowledged that missing the kick would give the opposing team more time to attempt another game-winning field goal. Despite his conviction to win the game, Brady admitted that taking two knees could have been a wiser choice, especially considering the difference in field goal percentages between 45 and 47 yards.
