Math shows that Belichick made the right call:

Then how did he lose??? Math doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Percentages don't have anything to do with it. It ALLL comes down to what yrd line that ball was on.

This is what I don't get.

Peyton Manning has to have the balls CAUGHT by the rookie Wrs that dropped balls, stopped short, made different reads than Manning all night long. OL hold. Penalties are made. RBs drop/fumble the ball.

You are going against the TEAM of the Indy Colts that your TEAM had been dominating allllll game long.

Because neither options yields a 100% chance of winning and this just happened to fall in the fortunate 20% losing range, just as punting the ball could have done.
