Dinwiddie was hoping his defense would get a 2 and out and get the ball back giving Dukes a shorter field. Now that appeared to have blown up in his face as the Riders gained a few first downs and ended up punting from their own 40. Dukes was up to the task of leading the Argos downfield anyways for the game winning TD.
While watching the game, I didn't understand why they didn't kick the field goal and did not agree with the decision to go for it. But your explanation makes sense. I am just glad it worked out in the end.
