Jason Garrett’s decision to punt on 4th and 1 from the Houston 42-yard line on the first possession of overtime might be a significant one when people look back at Cowboys history.
It’s hard to rationalize why Jason Garrett punted despite of having one of the league’s best offensive lines and running backs, and quite frankly it shouldn’t be rationalized. We’ve seen tough times and rough moments for Garrett before, but this one might be a little different.
It’s been said many times that Jerry Jones has cried only twice since owning the Cowboys, the 1994 NFC Championship Game and the inaugural contest against the Texans in 2002.
