There is NEVER a circumstance where you run an offense, in a tied game, with 30-some seconds left, out of your own endzone!
You make them burn their timeouts.
Let’s say we get 5 yards on 3 runs… that 59 yard kick is now a 67 yard kick.
Why?
Without timeouts available, the Texans can’t run that last second play to get another 3-4 yards. So you have the 5 yards from the runs, AND the 3-4 yards they got on the last play.
He isn’t making it from 67.
And don’t even get me started on not challenging the Kincaid catch and instead taking TWO timeouts into the half.
Stroud gifted us a punt, when they should have been kicking a go-ahead field goal… and we return the favor by throwing 3 times out of our endzone!?!?
