We go up 28 to 7 and and that three TD comeback would have left us tied with a chance in OT if Matt misses the FG...

We miss the two point conversion and it's 26 to 7... Three TD's makes it 28 to 26 and that last FG still wins the game for us.

But you don't guard against blowing a 3 TD lead in the 4th quarter. I can't think of any reason why a coach would try to guard himself against his team blowing a 3 TD lead in the 4th quarter. It's just not something that crosses your mind. If you're up by 3 TD's in the 4th quarter you expect to win comfortably making the 2-point conversion option moot.
