Football 101: Ryan Griffin on third down

Seeing as though I did Telestrator on Ryan Griffin’s first third down reception of the day against the Lions, it was only fair to do a Football 101 breakdown on his second third down reception against the Lions, which may have been even more important.

The Texans strung together three scoring drives the Monday night prior against the Denver Broncos, but all three ended in field goal attempts. Luckily, Nick Novak knocked home all three field goals, but the difference in field goals and touchdowns is more than just the four point difference. Two of those drives came during the first quarter and the Texans were only able to squeeze out a 6-0 lead.
