Shocker: Dick Vermeil Cries

Kansas City Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil cried in his postgame press conference when he announced that he was giving the game ball to Trent Green and his family because Green's father died recently.
That wasn't the surprising part.
Vermeil's gutsy call at the end of the game surprised and impressed me.
Kansas City was trailing 23-20 and had 5 seconds (time for one play) from the one yard line.
Instead of going for overtime Vermail elected to give his team the chance to win and it worked out. Had he gone the field goal his chances are about 50% of getting the ball on the coin toss. Usually the team that gets the ball in OT wins the game.
I think the chances of scoring on one play from the one yard line are better than 50%.
Good call, especially since football coaches are notoriously gutless, trying to avoid second guessing.
