Was it the right choice? Yes.
Was it the right play call? Probably.
Was there a pass interference? Possibly.
Did Houston have an entire extra quarter to score again? Definitely.
Did the game change dramatically after this play? Absolutely.
Everything seemed to be going in the right direction when the Houston Texans retook the lead at the end of the third quarter. The defense was cooking, the offense had its best drive of the game, and the Panthers hadn’t shown much on either side of the ball.
Given that the compass was aiming due north, going for two points to end a strong drive and go up by a field goal was the correct decisions for all intents and purposes.
