That's been Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich's message to his player about his aggressive play calling since he was hired last winter. On this Sunday, though, Reich's aggressive approach on fourth down in their own territory failed and ended up costing the Colts in their 37-34 overtime loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday.
"I'll address it now: I'm not playing to tie," Reich said. "I'll do that 10 times out of 10. That's just the way it's got to roll."
The Colts, who had come back from a 28-10 second-half deficit, had the ball 4th down and 4 from their own 43-yard line when quarterback Andrew Luck's throw was landed at receiver Chester Rogers' feet, giving Houston a short field to work with to win the game.
