Ravens Ring of Honor
It would be more of a mental pressure type thing.It's better to have the info now than later. So it makes sense to go for two. There is no disadvantage to go for two in this scenario.
The reality is you still need a TD, and you need a PAT and an 2PC. So its either PAT now, 2 point conversion later, or vice versa.
If you take the PAT now, you're playing your next defensive drive knowing that its a one score game (though you need a 2PC). If you go for 2 now and miss it, now you're looking at 2 scores instead of 1, though with more time to do it. But it will somewhat change the way you defend.
Since you still need both, its largely irrelevant which one you take at which time, because if you fail to convert either, it means you still need a FG (or Safety) to get back in it.
The premise of favoring the 2PC is largely based on the percentages of people converting 2 PC's, compared to the percentages of converting PAT's. I would imagine that when PAT's were 17 yard kicks, this scenario may have flipped, with the idea of delaying the 2PC until you really needed it. With the PAT being pushed back, and a sharp increase in the number of misses, it tends to favor teams going for it more often.
