CHALLENGE?

I'm not sure why I haven't seen this asked so I am going to do so:
What exactly was the point of that challenge of a two yard reception by Caldwell? I can't remember exactly but i think it was in the second quarter and it was on about a second down and about 7 to go. Who cares if you get back two yards in that situation?
What is the point of challenging that reception? Even if you know you will win you have wasted a potentially valuable challenge for later on a play that may make a difference (long gain, third down, etc...). Is this not another indication of the coaching staffs inability to manage a professional football game? Even I was yelling at the TV why challenge in that situation?!?!?!
Anybody else notice this?

it was a good call
I remember that was like 2 and 8 and after complete that pass was 3 and 2(somethink like that), so if you are near from the red zone, you have to keep the other team as far as possible to avoid an easy first down…
It was the right call (for a change)
Unless I’m mistaken, you don’t lose a challenge if the first challenge is upheld, Indeed, if the second challenge is also successful the team will essentially have a third challenge made available
Small ball wins too!
