Good eye, Gregg. :)

I'm using customized teams now.

Looks like a big error to punt -- ~10% GWC (MegaWhopper). When you combine chances you never get the ball back with the chances you do but have little time (what actually occurred), you're better off just gritting your teeth and going for it.

Not surprised the announcers didn't mention it. And few (probably no) NFL coaches would try for 1st down here. They hate to put the game on the line with one play -- better to delay the decision, even if that might mean taking the worst of it.
