Let’s take a quick trivia to lighten the mood after such a terrible loss. Imagine a completely hypothetical scenario where your inexperienced, mistake-prone quarterback is 2/15 passing. Despite those numbers you are tied 10-10 and will be getting the ball after the half, with just 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter you are facing 2nd and 3 inside your own 20-yard line. Taking all that into account do you: A - Run the ball again a couple times with your All-Pro running back to burn out the clock and go into halftime to regroup B - Just kneel it down, assuming the Texans burn their timeouts, and Rigo punts it 50 yards you have the Texans on their own 40-yard line with 20 seconds on the clock, not ideal but also not terrible C - Call two deep shots, even if one is picked it still counts basically as a punt, said quarterback can easily sling it 50 yards, or D - Call two consecutive short passing plays, even after the first one is nearly picked.
