You wouldn't have kicked it on 4th down? I would have.
You're about 5 yards to go...you're better off taking your chance at being able to score a TD there and then getting the onside kick and only needing at 15 yards to get into field goal range.
Essentially by kicking the field goal, you're requiring yourself to drive 50 yards. Going for the TD, you're requiring yourself to get about 20 to 25 yards (5 yards for the TD, ~15 yards to get into field goal position off an onside kick). I'd rather take the lesser yards.
