I don’t like McDermott but I do think he made the right call there.
You can win the game on 1 play from the 3 with your best player on the field. Take it.
If you kick it you rely on LS P K, and need to make several more plays in OT in poor conditions.
One better throw and they win it.

Went to a movie last night and a dude walked into the theater, yelled DRAKE MAYE, then quietly found his seat. Honestly didn’t mind it.
