Not a big deal, but I like to challenge assumptions with data.

Per Google, "Across the 2018 and 2019 NFL seasons, teams converted two-point conversion attempts 49.4 percent of the time. That compares to making the one-point point after kick 94.1 percent of the time."

Succop hit 52 of 57, or 91.2% this year.

94.1% > 91.2%

Based on those stats, it would actually make sense for the Bucs to go for 2 almost every time, especially since I believe their potent offense could do better than the 49.4% league average from 2018-2019.

All that said, I would have kicked the PAT in that particular situation; nevertheless, there's a logical argument to be made for going for 2 (especially early in games) and wish we'd do it more often.
