Go for 2?

Anyone watching the game today? Jets are down 27-14 to New England and score a touchdown with about 8 minutes left. 27-20 Patriots. Jets kick the PAT, so now it's 27-21.

I disagree.

Go for 2.

If you miss, it's still 27-20, and if you stop them on defense you can still tie it up with a TD. If you get it then it's 27-22. Then there are 2 scenarios:

Stop the Patriots and you still need a TD to take the lead.
Give up a field goal, and you're still just one score behind.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
