The point is his FG team had been a disaster all night long. He knows this. The announcers know this. He's one yard from a sure victory. A David Johnson run carries little risk, and even if he doesn't make it, the FG remains an option. It seems to me sometimes that NFL coaches are afraid of their own shadows.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
