It's not stupid. It's smart when you are left with no other choice. I'd argue that it's inefficient football to kick field goals because we need to look to score touchdowns but certainly not stupid.
We struck major gold! I think it’s funny how stressed we were about the kicking game before the season.
2023 Cowboys rookie report: Brandon Aubrey makes more history
Brandon Aubrey is having one of the greatest rookie seasons ever for a Cowboys player.
By David Howman
There were a few times in this game where it felt like Brandon Aubrey was about to see his field goal streak come to an end, but the rookie never even flirted with failure. His first attempt was from 60 yards, a career long for Aubrey, and the kick sailed through with plenty of room to spare. Aubrey later made a 59-yarder, earning him another piece of history.
Simply put, the man does not miss. He made all four of his field goals, improving to 30/30 on the year and setting yet another record in the process. He also connected on all three extra points. The Cowboys haven’t needed to settle for too many field goals this year, but it sure is nice knowing they have a guy with the range that Aubrey has.

Hold on explain lol?
Risk reward.
But I mean if your kicker hasn’t missed and he has a leg….and your defense is top 5 how much of a risk is it really?
Your defense isn't top 5 when losing.
What do you mean not top 5 when losing? Defense is unstoppable at home.
When they're trailing the defense isn't the same animal. No defense is, but you're better off preserving a lead and letting them play downhill than put them in a bad position for 3 points.
Do you don’t kick the field goal you just punt and leave the points?
You so sure about that?
I wouldn't do it with Justin Tucker from 55 either.
Each consecutive kick is now an NFL record for a season.
And he's one of the best at that.
It wasn't a good outlook.
Exactly. It's baloney to claim "Long field goals are stupid early in games" regardless of circumstances.
