Ah, ok found someone else explaining it and I screwed it up.
Pierce saw he only had 10 on defense (playing a man down) so he ran up and got the infraction (giving 5 to get his man on the field).
The only reason I could see for doing it with 12 on the field would be to just not risk a free play (because you’re right it’s 5 either way).
