As mentioned, 2 possession game. They needed field goal plus touchdown and point after to tie.
If you are in field goal range you take the shot because you don’t know if you’ll get back in range if you recover the onside kick.
With the time left the only realistic option for the 2nd score would have been a Hail Mary
