The only real explanation I could offer is that they have a tight K battle and wanted to give one of them an opportunity to kick a FG at the end of the half.

There's any number of reasons this happened other than the popular "Marvin is stupid" narrative:

Marvin said no timeout because he wanted to see if AJM could get the team lined up and spike the ball in a pinch

Marvin turned the entire 2 minute drill over to AJM and the young QB got caught up it the moment. Once AJM failed to call the TO; Marvin called it and took the opportunity to mentor his young QB.

These are just a couple, but those that have already formed an opinion based on their bias will roll with what they want to be right.
