On WGN radio, Jeff Budzien (sideline reporter) was saying that NOT taking the 3rd would have kept the kicker more off guard. Budzien said he had coached Fitz about NOT letting the kicker get a practice kick (calling the timeout too late). "It's been about five minutes since he was warming up in the net" is basically what Budzien said and that icing can have an effect, as kickers prefer to run right from the practice net into the game kick.
