If you call TO, and run a third down play, you have to get OOB. You should be able to pick up 5+ yards or throw the ball away and then attempt the FG. Better than what they did.
But it seems the players should have been coached to not need to call TO in that situation.
Get up to the line, use the whole field to pick up ten yards and then call final TO. Or possibly QB run for a few yards, if he doesn't see a pass he likes. Or throw it away and try 58 FG.

The best option once the playcall wasn’t in was probably to get to the line quickly and barrel forward for a few cheap yards followed by a quick timeout followed by a 55-58 yard FG in a dome. He took easily the worst option and was so sure of it that he took his sweet time to snap the ball.
