We needed to score a touchdown for crying out loud first and foremost. You can't assume that is going to happen the more you wait.

I mean do you think the defense would of not knew the snap count if the clock was running down to 0? What about them timing that up and filling the gaps? Maybe even lose yards, penalty, or turnover?
There is not one single team that tries to score as fast as they can at the end of the game. Not one.
The pace is determined by field position + time + timeouts left. Every team tries to score, but you always try to score as late as possible.
