Default How bad does your kicker need to be before you try for 2 points?

Okay, so he made two earlier, but what a donk.

Clemson's kicker had 3 consecutive kicks blocked, they then went for two the next chance and converted.

I liked Bowdens comments at halftime: We're done kicking for the day. Then at the end of the game, time running out on the 3 yard line, they decide to run it in rather than kick.

The Rams, back when they were the Greatest Show on Turf, had a game where their kicker was injured. After their next TD, someone attempted a kick and it was badly botched. Every TD after that, they went for two.

But that's what happens when a non-kicker tries to kick. I remember a Redskins game where they lost their punter. Joe Theisman somehow convinced Joe Gibbs that he could act as the backup punter. He got off a 1 yard punt.
