2 points conversion opportunity missed

DET 15 MIAMI 17
Detroit goes for the kick
DET 16 MIAMI 17
if the score had stayed like that, I would have been fuming :) . It's not systematic. Later in the same game, there was another "2 points " situation and the coach made the correct choice this time.

Teams won't start chasing points with 2-point conversions until the 4th quarter, which is why they didn't go for two at that point in the game (it was still early in the 3rd)

thanks! Btw, if a "new conversion format" is ever implemented (quote below), will the game follow?
As of the summer of 2014, the conversion by place kick is under review by the NFL. This new format would award seven points for a touchdown without an extra point attempt, eight points with a successful conversion by running or passing, and six points with an unsuccessful extra point attempt. This new format is proposed because of the almost certain probability of making a conversion by place kick (1,260 out of 1,265 for the 2013 season).[4] This proposal was never considered at the league owners' meeting in spring 2014; instead, the league used the first two weeks of its preseason for an experiment that moved extra point attempts back to the 20-yard line with the condition that if a team opted to attempt a two-point conversion instead, the line of scrimmage on the try would remain at the 2-yard line.

Yes, I do watch the NFL rule changes and plan to follow them as they happen.
