Because each team is probably getting the ball two more times.
The expected value of a 2PC attempt isn't much different from an XP even under normal circumstances. No excuse not to attempt to tie the game in the 4th quarter. He'll regret that big-time if the Lions kick a FG.

And if they score a TD, another FG only ties the game.
 
But it doesn't matter because of Stafford bedshitting.

why are they going for 2?

They miss and a Broncos TD/XP puts them up 3.
 
My guess is they wanted to get it to 6 point lead, which requires Denver to hit the XP after a TD to take lead.
 
Not sure I agree that's the percentage play there.

Yeah. With 3 minutes left, that makes sense: With this much time, I think it's a bad decision.
