They should kick on earlier downs so they can try again if they miss.

It only happens in overtime. If they miss other team gets ball. They only keep on a block or bad snap if they kick earlier

Kicking on 1st 2nd or 3rd down and missing results in a end of possession and gives the ball up to the defending team.

Attempting a kick on an earlier down with a fucked up hold would retain possession though. Which is why sometimes teams will kick on 3rd down at the end of a game when they could run one more play if they wanted to.

It more likely a team kick on earlier down in overtime or if they do like a hail mary to end the game and get a pass interference. They might do the field goal on 1st down if that is all they need to win.
