You risk not getting an easy 3 pts and possibly 7. You risk a huge swing in momentum and you risk stealing a possession from them while giving yourself a points.

If he was sure that he was all alone, does anyone really believe he wouldn't have picked it up?
Of course he would. The fact he fell on it is evidence that he didn't know if anyone was around and didn't want to risk not getting the ball.
No complaints from me.
