Daseal,
Sorry, but that is absurd. You throw an INT on third down and it goes back for a TD, then you're going to put your offense on the field against the #1 defense in the league? With all due respect, that's crazy. While you might have more time to drive down the field for a field goal, you might also get forced to go three and out and to punt it back to the other team - giving them time enough to drive down the field to win the game with a field goal try.
In this case, the best thing to do is to burn the clock, and defend your lead. This falls squarely on the defense doing their job, and our defense didn't get the job done. This wasn't a let down by Joe Gibbs at all.
