Why don't you take the guaranteed fg?

Then you're down 24-23. If you stop them bingo you just need a fg. If you don't stop them and use your timeouts, let them run in for the TD. Then you're down by 8 and still have a shot with say 2:30ish left on the clock.
I guess the Texans are thinking they need the ball back anyways and if they don't get the first down to continue the drive they aren't giving the Jags good field position. Kicking the field goal seems way better for most teams but lets face it this is a battle of two shit teams that are willing to take risks hoping to win.
