So don't get sacked. You can't take a sack at your 20 at that point because it burns a huge amount of time. Besides, Manning knows how to throw the ball away and not run out of the back of the endzone (hi, Dan Orlovsky!). The major downside of a safety during the rest of the game is that you turn the ball over and give up good field position, which aren't issues at this point.
